Yep, considering we only have three chains in our area now. Fry's Electronics is a joke. They don't even know what they have in stock, much less anything about it. Best Buy is staffed mostly with short-term morons. You rarely see the same employees twice during subsequent visits. And Radio Shack has turned into little more than a useless cellular phone kiosk. With any of these three you are best served by simply ordering online and from another chain. When I was child we had to wait until the carnival came to town to see a freak show. Now I can just go to any local electronics store and see one.
