Agghhh, Fry's Electronics....
I used to be in the Burbank store at least three times a week.

It's like kid to a candy store.
I'd lock my credit card up, or it would do more than wince, lol.

Last time I was there I came back with 20 CPU's and stacks of DIMMS 
as at the time, the price there was less than half what it was in 
the UK.

I miss those jaunts, although SWMBO hated the place. I was always 
about 2 hours playing with "new" toys each time, lol.

Cheers
Geraint.
