Local Tech
I had a need for a wireless (802.11) camera recently, and so I decided to check a few local places before purchasing online. The problem is those local places are dwindling with the loss of CompUSA and Circuit City. Most places I went looked at my with a blank look on their face. Best Buy had one camera. No one else had any. Radio Shack has gone crazy. They are a mini Best Buy now. Except they have a tiny selection and no knowledgeable employees (at least at the ones I went to. See Phil T’s post for confirmation of this).
HH Gregg baffles me now. The first time I went into that store a couple years ago, I was amazed. I liked the layout, the employees were helpful, and they matched the price on an item I wanted. However, this time, their selection was awful (unless you wanted an appliance), and no one offered to help me in 10-15 minutes. I finally had to go seek somebody out after a couple guys passed me without even acknowledging me. Unbelievable.
Oh well, the camera has been ordered from Amazon.
