A huge amount of craigslist deals incoming. Good thing I'm located in Vancouver!

Good hunting! At this point couldn’t Linus bail his old employer out though?

 

[confusis]

Not sure if he could or couldn't afford to, but there are reasons companies go bankrupt, and without major changes inside the business (not to mention figuring out how to compete with Amazon/Newegg), it won't survive long past the rescue. So while it may be able to done, should it be done?

I think what drove NCIX into the ground was trying to maintain brick and mortar stores. Silly NCIX!

IIRC they have as much as said that bailing out NCIX would be bad business and not something their interested in doing in WAN show at some point, Linus also took some pot shots at some of the management for running NCIX into the ground.

I like how Linus went and found things he bought when he was a product manager and were still sitting on the shelves. Just shows that even informed people buy things they shouldn't lol.
