Interesting.  Didn't know that.

I guess the lemmings have stopped falling for the high prices?

I wonder if this could help the old computer stores start appearing  
again?

Places like CompUSA drove them out of business before.

Locally something similar happened with seafood in the last 2 years.

About 20 years ago, big seafood chains destroyed the local small  
restaurants.

Now the chains have mostly died, and the little ones are coming back.

Same for pizza.  Dominos and the other big one in the 80s killed all  
of the mom-n-pop pizzerias, and now the little shops are popping up  
again all over the place.

Could people be learning?
