It is not.My very small bit of experience with Sharepoint 10 years ago still makes me shudder. Maybe it's better now.
Ed is the real reason I never learned vi back when I was learning stuff.“Ed is the standard text editor.”
The closest Microcenter to me is 1000 miles away (Portland to S California).Yeh, Frys has been increasingly empty and understocked for at least a year. They're also closing stores. I'm practically in walking distance of a Frys and I'm having to go to Microcenter 10 miles away to get stuff. I ordered a couple of spare batteries for UPSen because Frys didn't have any when I last had one go dead.
Also a good insight into how my mind is wired...
This is sad. One of my favorite weekend activities when I lived in San Diego was to roam the local Fry's and basically window-shop, though sometimes I'd come out of there with the parts to build another computer or somesuch.Yeh, Frys has been increasingly empty and understocked for at least a year.

When they opened the Frys here long ago, they demanded to see government id for anyone to simply enter the store. I showed it to them but was offended by that and never went back. It is rather difficult for me to get to anyway without a car.Unfortunately, where I live now, the nearest Fry's is about a three-hour drive away.
Government ID to enter the store? Oh, wow! I'd never heard of that before! Could be a policy they once had in its younger years, but I've never had to show ID to get in. Weird.When they opened the Frys here long ago, they demanded to see government id for anyone to simply enter the store. I showed it to them but was offended by that and never went back.

I had a discussion about this with my husband, and he got me to thinking that I might be misremembering things. Certainly, the last few times I've been to the San Diego or Ventura Fry's stores, I didn't have to show ID, but I'm thinking that back when we moved to San Diego in 2004, we most probably did.Government ID to enter the store?

Actually my memory was a little hazy too. Now after reading up on their history I remember it was Incredible Universe which was owned by Tandy / Radio Shack who did that. They got bought by Frys a few years later which still stands at that location.I had a discussion about this with my husband, and he got me to thinking that I might be misremembering things.

I think you were right, Essence, and I apologize for calling you on it.
I'm bad enough for grubby fingerprints *without* a touch-screen.
