Retract That Retraction

Well, PC Club is gone after all, and for reals this time. Apparently NAOC Holdings took over just long enough to file bankruptcy itself and shut everything down. Looking through the windows, it looks like a lot of people still have their computers in there. A quarter-century ago, I lost some home electronics when the repair place went bankrupt. I think if my computer were in there (and it has been on several occasions, since we bought it there), and my wife and kids were whining at me to do something about it, I'd be compelled to conduct a midnight requisition manuever. Not that I'm advising anybody.

Correction

Well, now the Trib is reporting that PC Club is back in business, having been bought by an outfit called NAOC Holdings. I can tell you that the stores here in Utah are open again, but I can't tell you anything else, including whether PC Laptops is actually willing to take on PC Club customers. If I were a PC Club customer, though, I'd be inquiring, because something here smells like last week's diapers. I can tell you for a fact that if you file bankruptcy, you won't get to sell out within 48 hours (If anyone has definitive word on the bankruptcy filing, I'd like to hear it. Apparently the media couldn't be bothered to check it when they reported it.). Also, it is my considered opinion that, if you're about to sell your business, you don't hang a sign in your door reading, "Sorry, we've filed Chapter 7," and you don't have your website go dark with only a "Thanks for X years of business" message.
