Yeah I thought this was in the wind. I receive their daily emails and frankly they have been peddling a lot of junk for a while. Gone were the days of nice deals on quality Brand name TV’s and Receivers, computer components.....Micro Center can’t be far behind. A real shame.

Right. The Austin Fry’s is very stuck in the 1990s. Didn’t keep up with the times. The big deal about Fry’s was you could get computer components like motherboards, something that not many retailers sold at the time, but now you can get those online.

Years ago, the great joy of my life was computer expos.

Loved buying parts and building desktops.

Still have my copy of Photoshop 4.

Software and hardware was cheap.

Circuit City and CompUSA going under broke my heart and then we lost Office Depot, too.

Best Buy is pitiful and I have no idea how Staples keeps going.

The Boston & Kansas MicroCenter locations do rather well.
