I liked being able to walk into CompUSA to get mine and knowing I could return it to that same store if I had to. What a damned shame. The only two places you could get an N800 and they're BOTH gone-gone-gone. If you see any CompUSA stores anymore, they were bought by Tigerdirect and they're now their outlet stores--gone is the actual CompUSA that we knew (maybe liked, maybe hated... but either way, gone).

Coincidence? I'm joking of course. Kidding. Kidding.
