Do You Have a Borders Gift Card?

Better use it up. Today would be good.

For it appears that Borders Books will soon go the way of Circuit City and Linens N Things.

The comparison to Circuit City is probably unfair, as CC slit their own throats when they fired all of their experienced sales people and hired a bunch of inexperienced kids as a way to save money.

Oops. Not taking my gift card number "at this time."

And of course Borders slit their own throat when they partnered with Amazon.com to sell books online rather than develop their own online bookstore. So it goes.

I guess malls don't have bookstores nowadays, since Barnes & Noble shut down all its B. Dalton bookstores and of course Borders is Waldenbooks. But then, who goes to malls anymore anyhow? Malls are so.... ghetto.... nowadays.
