You’re so lucky you have a Frys coming near you. I love Frys, I wish they would come to Ontario. I keep explaining to some of my friends here just how big Frys is and what they have compared to Futureshop or Best Buy. ---

I forget how blessed :rolleyes: I am to live in the skews-the-average-downwards part of what is either the richest or second richest (and most Republican) county in the country (it’s back and forth with Orange County, CA, on both counts) because I always have a (fill in blank) store right around the corner. And having McDonalds headquartered here means I’m never more than fifteen feet from either a Macs or one of its competitors. ---

Would you rather be digging through your own feces searching for undigested bits, Droppy? ---

Sadly, no Fry’s in Cleveland. Of course, back in Buffalo, the consensus is probably “Frys’s? We don’t need it. I get my computer stuff at Rocco’s Electronics, Dart Supplies and Bingo Markers on Sheridan.” However, after I moved to Cleveburg, I was elated to find a Micro Center not far from where I live. If you’re a geek, and there’s no Fry’s in your neck of the woods, Micro Center is the next best thing. The CompUSA in Beachwood is almost always empty. ---

My god, **dropzone** they’re building a new Fry’s and you’re _complainig_? I’d kill for a Fry’s. I’m about equidistant from the one in Portland and the one in the SF Bay Area. :eek: > [@Giraffe](#): > > Plus, it’s the only electronics store I know of that actually has _electronics_. Like resistors and multimeters sort of electronics. Try buying a resistor at Best Buy. Yeah, they used to have a better selection of LEDs than, say, Radio Shack. 😉 Not sure how they compare anymore though cuz it’s been a while. ---

Okay, okay, you guys have sold me and I’m slavering for this store to open. Happy? Now if we could just get certain members of the government, or at least my wife, to admit that maybe they can be wrong sometimes.
