From the strong economy files:

Ultimate Electronics Inc. said Wednesday it will close half its stores -- 30 outlets including some if not all in Iowa -- and fire 965 workers by June 30 in a corporate reorganization under federal bankruptcy protection.

The fate of the Davenport store, one of three in Iowa, was not known Wednesday afternoon, according to a store employee, who referred calls to the company's corporate headquarters in Thornton, Colo.

The store at 3800 E. 53rd St. opened in December 1999 with 70 to 80 employees.

The above comment was simply too stupid and uninformed to be allowed to live.
