Poetic Justice... (Score 1)

My how things change. For years Apple was shelling out big dough to get shelf space for software, machines, etc. at CompUSA stores. They still got stuck back in the corner of most stores with half the machines left in unworkable condition. The people on the floor knew nothing about Macs and most treated people looking for anything Mac related as if they had a virus. It was obvious, from top management on down, that no matter what Apple did to facilitate sales, CompUSA could care less about Apple products and they didn't seem to think there was any profit in selling them. Apple was pretty much forced into doing things differently - thus the genesis of the "Apple Store".

Fast forward to today. It can be tough at times to even move around in an Apple Store with all the people. In just a few years, the number of Apple Stores has jumped to over 170 with more being built constantly. So to hear that CompUSA is having problems and is down to 103 stores seems a bit like....well....poetic justice.
