The story they told us when they closed all the stores was that they were going strictly online. I have a theory that they then became Newegg. It would make sense, since shortly thereafter Newegg came onto the scene.
Of course, I've heard tell that this isn't true, but I'd like to think so anyway.
Yeah I thought the same too.
"Newegg.com is not in any way related to the former Egghead.com, which was purchased by Amazon.com several years ago."
The company’s name derives from a Chinese belief that a new egg symbolizes a new beginning, Tong said. It’s an appropriate name, considering Newegg.com was founded in 2001 just as the dust was settling from the first e-tailing boom and bust.”
