Yeah, I don't hold any illusions that Micro Center is nearly as good as 
Fry's, but we just have to go with what we have....

I didn't realize how good it was to even have Micro Center nearby until I 
moved to Canton, where the best options were Best Buy, Circuit City, 
Staples, the Akron CompUSA (always a disappointment)..... or driving an 
hour to the Cleveland Micro Center.

OTOH, I did find a great electronics parts store in downtown Akron.

(Of course, whenever I go to the Bethel Rd Micro Center, I have to go to 
the little used-parts place next door, currently called Computer 
Express.)
