CompUSA to Shut Down After Holidays

Got one near me, right across the street from Best Buy.
I took a friend there some time back to purchase a cell phone (her first).

The kid (obviously a refugee from high school) barely knew the phone, barely
knew any of the plans for the phone, barely knew about what features it had,
barely knew anything about the other phones at his counter.

CompUSA used to be populated by geeks, fully knowledgeable about anything
that delt with computers. Now, no such luck. They're all over at the Geek Squad.
