Goodbye Fry's

[Eric Oyen]

Yeah, nice of them to tell us, the general public, that they were closing their doors. I went up to the Frys electronics last week to shop for some hardware. The shelves were almost bare, but prices were still at pre-covid levels. About the only indication that things were happening was the store had a much smaller customer area footprint and that some shelves were empty and products out of stock.

I only learned on twitter last night about 3 hours before midnight local time that Frys would be closing their doors and terminating the website.

Oh well, now I guess it’s down to Newegg, GreyBar and Amazon to pick up the slack. If anyone happens to have other retailers that we, as the open source community, should support, then posting here wouldn’t be a bad idea.
