> Ever ask
a Fry's employee for a serial printer cable?
The sad thing is that, at one
time, if you asked a Fry's employee for
a parallel printer cable, he might have asked "Centronics or
Dataproducts?". That was at a time where, if you said "Fry's",
everyone thought you meant the place where you brought groceries.
When it first opened, Fry's was a wonderful place where you could
find all sorts of things, such as VME bus cards. That aspect didn't
last too long, however.
