| Randal | well - that's what it started as |
| peshalto | i was aiming for Fry's |
| Randal | yeah, because Fry's bought it but ask any oldtimer here, and they'll still call it IU :) |
| peshalto | I never understand people who diss Fry's. It is what it is. Why would anyone complain about living near a computer store with 75 checkout counters? |
| Randal | best buy will pull items for me, and give me a special parking spot |
| peshalto | always the VIP :-) |
| Randal | I shop at home, wait for the confirmation email, then drive to best buy, pick it up, then sit at the brewpub next door reading the instruction manuals. :) Or - I'll sit at the brewpub, order stuff, and when it's ready, walk over, get it, and finish my meal. :) |
| sharms | I dislike bestbuy because of their internal website with inflated prices |
| Randal | ... Initially, two stores were opened, in Arlington, Texas and Wilsonville, Oregon; when these proved profitable, parent company Tandy decided to expand quickly, opening an additional 15 stores. |
| sharms | anyone that shady isn't getting my money |
| Randal | from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incredible_Universe see - that was one of the motherships for IU that's why it made big nes news |
| peshalto | huh I guess I never set foot in one of them. But seem to remember the shutdown story. |
| Randal | ... The Fry's stores in Fishers, Indiana; Tempe, Arizona; Wilsonville, Oregon; Sacramento and San Diego, California; and Dallas and Arlington, Texas are former Incredible Universe stores. |
| peshalto | Wow, day care facilities. Like Ikea. They really understood geeks. |
| Randal | yes IU could have been Fry's but being Tandy (Radio Shack), they f'ed it up |
| peshalto | Not that I would park my kid when I could be teaching her about the wonders of hard drives. |
| whiteghos1 | does anyone know any good perl online classes? |
