Question of the Day: Will You Miss Circuit City?
As you probably already heard, Circuit City filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today, becoming the latest, and biggest casualty of the recent economic downturn.

Still, there is a very real possibility that this reorganization could fail and Circuit City will cease operations altogether. So my question is: would you miss Circuit City if it completely bit the dust? More » -
