CompUSA, in death a triumph

The Flock bashing came all too soon. It seems to be the only anything that easily allows one to blog about blog-like material (anything that's RSSable, that is). Just click blog and you are blogging, like a baby. How come google, the interactivest of them all couldn't have something like this built into Reader to tie it up with its very own Blogger, of all things. Anyway, here's to Flock.

Now, concerning the actual post below. I now understand the sudden sale at desperate SDHC prices and the shabby store condition, and the sense of fear in people's eyes. Although the latter two symptoms were palpable since the early 2000's. Well, at least got my 114 and my glove back. That's a triumph. Also, it has the 4000 Ergonomic on sale for $40. Something to think about given the recent cable tensions.

Check out the Best Buy victory rap after the break.
