Au revoir,
Circuit City. Most people don't know this franchise was 60 years old. But big box retail, especially for electronics, seems to be falling (Best Buy being the notable exception) to its more nimble competitor, the internet. Its hard to compete with online entities like NewEgg.com and a host of others in the consumer electronics space. Best Buy "gets it" though, and at least on the computer side, has managed to add a service layer that the average consumer has a hard time finding on the internets.
I especially feel bad for the folks who are losing jobs because of this. But, every door closed means another is opening, at least that's what I'm told. I keep listening for my door, I think its opening soon. We'll see...
