The company continues its push into e-commerce, adding virtual "salespeople" to its online store.
The company has been forced to close stores and beef up its online offerings as direct marketers of PCs, such as Dell and Gateway 2000, become more and more successful at luring technology-savvy customers away from Egghead's brick-and-mortar stores.
The virtual salespeople were built using real-time multimedia communication software from The Palace.
The retailer also acquired direct PC marketer Surplus Direct in September, following the shut-down of half of its 156 stores in January.
