I recall when John Fry opened his store, the big
seller was Canfield's
Diet Chocolate Fudge Soda. I thought it was dreadful, but people
bought it by the caselot. Fry's had a lot of Everex PC boards, much of
which was probably returns. And you could buy a VME system there also.
I still have various connectors and whatnot in the little poly bags with
the red and white Fry's labels on them.
I bought my turntable and soldering iron tips at Sunnyvale Electronics.
Points for those who can tell me where that was.
I suspect that if I returned for a visit after nearly 30 years, I'd get
lost.
. . . and it would be very depressing.
It's been more than three decades since the staffing at Fry's went bad.
