The engineers I know in the greater Austin area love it.

Ahh..but it goes way beyond Best Buy! They have things like resistors or LED's and soldering irons for people whole like to repair their own stuff. They have a really eclectic mix of stuff including appliances, shavers, electronic toys - it's easy to spend a couple of hours knocking around in there. And, if you get hungry, they have a cafe inside as well!

Yes, my brother and I both have backgrounds in electrical engineering, and I think it took over 2 hours the last time we visited Fry's

I am not a big techie, but it sounds like I might need to check it out. I might find something I like. If only I had more money...
