I remember Fry’s original, non-tech retail store at Camden & Kooser in San Jose before they opened the first Fry’s Electronics in Sunnyvale. Also, in high school, I worked at Egghead Software which was killed off by CompUSA, NCA Peripherals, MicroCenter and other large retailers, most of which have been since killed off by online retailers. For the past 15+ years, I’ve used pricewatch.com to shop for computer parts because they tend to scrape more sites than Google Shopping does. Fry’s Electronics anecdote from 1996: So Fry’s Electronics used to buy full-page ads in the San Jose Mercury News where they would advertise their sales and loss-leaders. In red, 192 point font, Fry’s advertised the launch of OS/2 4 “WRAP [sic]” on three (3) separate lines. Ooof IBM.
