Like Fry's... Fry was just a west coast thing for a long time...and there all over now... ... in the early 90's Fry's were a techo geek paradise...
The place you could get a cpu some cat 5, and a can of jolt cola .. but Fry's has just gotten crappier and crappier....
They all seem to get away from there geek roots and become just consumer electrons stores
