1) The article is nothing more than a compilation of press releases that dilutes the value of Wikipedia overall. For instance, it starts out with an 86-word direct quotation from its founder based on an uncited June 2002 interview. It later goes on in exhaustive detail about the founder's varied background, his religion, health, and even includes a quotation about his views on life in general ("Happiness, Love, Harmony, Cleanse, Execution."). None of this approaches merit for inclusion in Wikipedia.

2) The business, which has been a very small, if negligible, player in the computer industry by any measure, has gone out of business due to poor management. In fact, it's gone out of business twice, the first time being in early 2008. The company was irrelevant during its lifetime and it is even more irrelevant today.

Constructive comments welcomed. John (talk) 06:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - much of the nomination reasons are not issues for deletion, but are rather issues for cleanup. The only deletion criterion appears to be that the company is not relevant which I assume is asserting that the company is not notable. However, a review of a Google new search that addition to the current coverage, there is stuff like this LA Times article, which meets the primary criterion for for notability in that there are multiple reliable sources writing about this company. -- Whpq (talk) 14:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

• Keep This store was an important part of the computer industry in Southern California for quite a while (early 90's??) The article can be improved, but it should stay. Mike.Hartfield (talk) 22:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
