[TriLUG] shopping help, please

[J.C. Jones]

I knew about the Durham store, but if the Raleigh store is any 
indicator, I would be out of luck there as well. It is a long drive from 
Wendell, NC to Durham just for one compactflash card.

I had already tried the consumer types like Target, Walmart, etc. Unless 
it was on sale, I am positive that Best Buy, Circuit City would be 
priced too high.

Newegg has the same item that tiger direct shows in it's flyer for about 
7 dollars less, My experience with Newegg has always been good.

I guess that is the route I will take.

Who wants to pool resources to start an computer/electronics supply 
store in the Triangle??? ( or Raleigh )??
