Generally, for the coolest, newest technology, my experience has been that you find it first in Akihabara (Tokyo's "Electric Town"), not in the U.S.
First, in my own defense, by cheap technology I was referring to basic computer tech (computers for under $250 if you build your own, for example). I guess I was trying to say if you have the drive to succeed, there's just a ton of resources out there.

Second - time for you spill. This "Electric Town" that you talk about - you go there often? What were the latest & greatest objects you saw? What did you last buy from there? No need to answer - just curious.

I used to shop at Akihabara too. Think of it as a giant flea market for Asian electronics. Actually, it's a lot like Fry's.
