Glenn Reynolds briefly touched on a subject that has been a pet peeve of mine even when I was blogging at HiWired. Mac Virus’.

The Circuit City failure is going to be very painful for an awful lot of people. Tens of thousands out of work. Thousands of their suppliers and auxiliary companies hit hard.
Their competitors who survive will take a short term hit as well as people flock to get discounted deals.
If you are one of those people doing just that REMEMBER fill out those warranty cards with the manufacturer and/or hit their web sites to register. You won’t have someplace to return stuff so protect your investment as best as you can.
And remember if you do have a computer tech problem, DaTechGuy can support you from anywhere in the world as long as you have a high speed connection.
Update: Full details of terms etc are available at the Circuit City Website.
