well, I for one do like fry's for the simple fact that I can try
something new and if I cannot get it working I can take it back. So
while I would love to have a nice little digital camera/cam I am not
going to get something that I cannot use. I get it, try it, and keep or
take back depending on if I like it. In the short term it can be
annoying, but in the long term I've probably bought a couple thousand in
stuff that I would not have otherwise (and probably saved a good grand
in purchases that would not have worked for me due to unknown
incompatibilities).
