The Palo Alto Fry's electronics was the first Fry's electronics that I ever stepped foot into...and I was mesmerized. They had everything that I could have ever really wanted -- oscilloscopes, meters, computer goodies, and a wide array of electronic components. I made a "traffic light" for our cruise control (powered by the parallel port) that sat in my cube when I wasn't in the office (I worked from home 3 weeks out of the month) that stayed in that cube until I left CollabNet in 2010... I'll never forget that first feeling that I was in my own little heaven when I stepped into that Fry's, and even after being to a few Fry's near me -- Atlanta and Indianapolis -- and seeing them in their current state, it's a little bit sad. It makes me wish that they could still be as relevant today as they were when I first saw them, but, I understand that retail changes.
