Love it? If you or anyone else has a happy relationship with CompUSA, count
your blessings. Unfortunately, one size does not fit all. In our area the
CompUSA store manager was non-cooperative and disinterested about our Mac
group. What's more, the Marketsource rep for Apple did not respond to
e-mails or return phone calls, despite inviting them.
Several weeks ago this store informed arriving workers that the store was
closed as of that very morning and that they were out of a job. All attempts
by our daily paper to learn the details were met with local and corporate
stonewalling of the highest (make that "lowest") order. While I hate it that
there no longer is an Apple retailer in this city, I won't at all miss such
a dumbheaded operation.
