Dear Outpost.com customer, As you may recall, I sent you an email about five weeks ago about the tough times for dot-com companies and the tough times we were experiencing here at Outpost.com. Amazingly, about 7,000 of you sent us, well, they were pretty close to love letters, in response. Today I am thrilled to be able to tell you that it now appears that, like The Rolling Stones, we will indeed be here forever. We have just announced that our friends at PC Connection have agreed to acquire your favorite company, Outpost.com. The best part is that we will remain Outpost.com and we will remain in our gorgeous headquarters town of Kent, Connecticut. Thus, we will continue to do business with you as we always have, with a deep commitment to you, our customers, with our rather healthy sense of humor, and with the enormous resources that will now be available to us through the PC Connection family. And yes, the gerbil stays. We wouldn't have it any other way. The most immediate impact this will have on our business is that, effective immediately, we have access to tens of millions of dollars of inventory on a daily basis. This will help us speed your orders on their way to you much sooner. The gerbil brought in some of his buddies to work in the warehouse, so we now have many more hands (paws?) available there as well. Needless to say, we are awfully excited about this. PC Connection is a company we have long admired, and to say that this is a good fit is quite an understatement. So, the bottom line is that you are stuck with us. We just won't go away and we plan on finding new and even more clever ways to entertain you as you shop for a very long time to come. As a matter of fact, we would really appreciate it if you could help us name this silly gerbil as we are all getting tired of calling him, "Gerbil". You can do this at: http://www.outpost.com/template/contest/gerbil/index/ Thanks again for all your support over the past six years. It has been an honor serving you and getting to know you.
