FWIW, I've lived in Cleveland, NYC, Seattle,
and now here. They have no Fry's, only CompUSA
(and DataVision in NYC - marginally better
than CompUSA, but still not in the same league
as Fry's). Would you rather have CompUSA
with a spotless accuracy record, or Fry's with
typo's?
Fry's with a spotless accuracy record isn't an
option. Increased government interference reduces
consumer freedom - makes every store a bland,
monotonous, soul-crushing experience like CompUSA.
