Newegg is not related to Egghead in any way. See a post relating this from a Newegg employee: http://www.epinions.com/content_137432108676/show_ ~allcom which I will quote in its entirety here:
'Dear Jason,
You are not the first person to question the connection between our two companies. There is no connection between NewEgg.com and the old EggHead Software. You wouldn't believe the volume of customers who write us emails declaring "EggHead is my favorite store!" or "I've been shopping with you since the old EggHead Software days." Huh? But seriously, there isn't any relation other than the fact that our names sound similar and may look so in writing, and that we both cater to computer users. It is evident though that they must have made some of their customers happy because they appear pleased to be shopping with them again, even though we must politely inform them that we are our own entity entirely.
Regards,
William Lazaro'
