You man not be able to examine the merchandise the next time.  Just how hard it has gotten to go into a store and see a product before you buy it really hit home this last weekend.  My wife and I were trying to look at laptops, the only place left in the area to really see anything seems to be Best Buy. I found myself really wishing CompUSA was still around.  We didn’t bother to even consider going down to Fry’s, as a year ago, they were nothing but aisles of empty shelves.
