CompUSA…Sucks
I went to our local CompUSA to pick up two things for a very high-end video editing Power Macintosh G5 setup that I’ve been privileged to be working on recently, and found it woefully lacking in some amazing basics. I wanted two things — something to translate from a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 connection (ideally a cable) and a FireWire hub. Well, CompUSA had *none* of the former, even in the Mac section, and only one single FireWire hub; a small Belkin model they were willing to let go of for just shy of $50. In other words, not a great deal, and no selection to speak of.
Most frustrating is how little “computer stuff” seems to be left in CompUSA — maybe I’m more of a Radio Shack guy or something, but our CompUSA offers three aisles of wireless cards and routers, two aisles of iPod stuff, four or so aisles of DVD movies, but only one Firewire hub and no 400-to-800 translation cables. At all.
