That didn't go too badly.

Made it to Fry's today, picked up the UPS and computer skate. Looked at the graphics tablets and decided (once again) that I am simply not that interested. Even the cheap ones aren't cheap in price, only quality, and I simply wouldn't use it enough to justify. None of the hard drives were on sale, so they got ignored. And I fled with my needed items only.

The cashier I got is someone I've dealt with several times over the course of the dying of my old desktop / replacement of same. So we chatted. I was right. The computers DID go down yesterday, which is how come they achieved line-around-the-store. Well, only halfway around but that is still DARNED impressive.

I feel very sorry for them. But I add this to my seasonal joys: I DON'T WORK THERE.

Not working there is good.

A quick look at Ebay seems to indicate that cheap-o graphics tablets there run under $20.

I'm wary of buying electronics online, considering I know there is or was a thriving grey market in stuff like digital cameras that you then can't get support for. And they look quite legitimate. That's without bringing eBay (where it's everybody and his dog and there's no sense of 'dealing with an established retailer at all) into the picture.
