Not sure about the last one…with all the closings of CompUSA, it has gone from 15 miles, to 200 miles for me to go to my nearest CompUSA. What idiot decided that Bakersfield needed a CompUSA more than the greater Los Angeles area?
Oh, well - I guess it’s good for the farmers!
Enjoy! More deals as they come.
