Outpost.com finally gone, replaced by Frys.com

Outpost.com: Free delivery. Overnight.

I worked there for two years, from the time when shooting gerbils out of cannons and losing money on every order (but making it up on volume!) seemed like a good idea, to the time when being able to pay the electric bill was considered a luxury. I got out just before the buyout by these Fry’s folks, who seem to have been pretty much igoring the web site. I’m amazed it’s still up and running and being updated after all this time.

  2. Yo Steve!
    I had a good laugh from reading the “making up on volume” part. But as always it didn’t really work out well when I tried explaining it to my girlfriend.
