Some one was telling me about an online store called EggHead, they were sayign it was the biggest or whatever, the most common. I had never heard of it, but i had heard of Newegg.com of course. I dod some research and it turns out egghead seemed to go bancurupt like 4-5 years ago, and i would assume with a name liek "new"egg, it is the nexte gghead, but is it teh same people, did the buy the company, or is it some one knocking off the name? i noticed that amazon.com has bought the domain name, so i wasnt sure. Is anyone an old enough techie to know the story?

looks like i found teh answer, they are NOT related, if i didnt like newegg so much i would hate them for using the name and gaining customers off of it.

i remember buying doom 95 from egghead.

then like 3 years later they tore it down and put a hallmark in it

here we go again, remember how Tiger Direct got ****ed at Apple for using Tiger in the name of thier new os Mac Os X Tiger.

Interesting...it seems like a good enough reason since there's really no other explanation as to why they're called newegg

I think this is better for off topic though
