Hello Sellam,
You don't actually realize just how lame Fry's
is unless you live here
and have gone there several times.
I'd generally have a chance to stop in there a few times a year for
several years in the early to mid 90's, but that was eight years ago.
In that much time, they may have gotten a whole lot worse than
I remembered.
Best Regards

I didn't know you were having those kinds of
problems there. When I was
in San Diego till mid 90's, we didn't have a Fry's there yet, so I loved
to stop into one every time I went on a training assignment up to the LA
and Bay areas. With all the stuff they had there, I was like a kid in a
candy store.
That's typical of new shoppers and out-of-towners. Larry Anderson and I
once escorted a group of Finnish classic computer nerds to Fry's and it
was like Disneyland for them. You don't actually realize just how lame
Fry's is unless you live here and have gone there several times.
