Yeah, it was kind of just a crappy looking experience.  As to Office Max, got a laser printer for my daughter a few months ago, as well as new chair mats for my workspace upstairs.  It's about the same as ever, just less busy.

On the built to order computer stores, would be nice... when I went to BB, it was after trying to hit a local computer store to diagnose a MB issue, they didn't have a different CPU in stock they could use to test it, so decided to get a new one and ship the mail order one back.  In the end, it's just a bit rough.

Yeah, before Fry's came in, there were about 8-9 smaller computer stores, but 6 of them were owned by the same guy under different names. Trying to get a MB locally and having to drive to a few places reminded me of those days too.
