The last item I bought at WalMart was a cheap modem that was supported by an application[0] I was testing, and that was several years ago (2002 or 2003).

I've often marveled how infrequently I buy something from Sears, a store my parents used to buy from all the time when I was growing up...

As for WalMart, I avoid it like the plague, I simply dislike everything about the store (but I think they have the right to offer their form of retail abuse to anyone that is willing to shop there).
