Stardate 20011009.2055 (On Screen): Well, that's it for Egghead. The retailer once was a major presence in the US, a chain of stores concentrating on software and manuals, with a bit of hardware for spice. That fell through, and they tried again as an online retailer. Now their attempt to sell themselves to Fry's (for a measly $10 million) has also fallen through, because Fry's would rather own Cyberian Outpost (and I can understand why). That leaves Egghead within days of death, with only half a million dollars left for operating funds.
