[ale] Fry's Opening

[aaron]

I was out of town opening day... installing my daughter unit (and her Mandrake 
10 Linux desktop) into her college dorm room near White Plains, New York.

Got back into Georgia on I-85 about 7:00pm on Monday night, so I talked my
partner into stopping at Fry's for a "leg stretch" on the way into Atlanta :-)   
( though she seemed to have more fun ogling toys than I did)!

What a treat that place is!  I hadn't been in one since 2 years ago in San 
Francisco.  Total geek heaven. I not only ran across two other ALE folk, but 
got to chat with an Amiga cohort I hadn't seen in several years (we had 
worked together on an Amiga kiosk project at one time).

Just wanted to add...

Thanks for the "review", too,. Charles! Good points on what's good to get 
there. It's not heaven, but it's not Nebraska either.
