I still have a 256MB flash drive my dad forced me to use.

Can you even store anything more than pictures and maybe MS-DOS?

Well, the only tech store near me was Circuit City. Since its closing, it was abandoned until Dick's Sporting Goods took over the building. TigerDirect took over their site as well, rumours said.

Yeah Tigerdirct did take over CompUSA, the one I go to which is only 10 minutes away, changed over to Tigerdirct a couple of months ago, so the only one left I now of here in Florida is in West Orlando.

Wow you don't have a lot of tech store options near you. I at least have BestBuy and microcenter.

Yeah, all I have is best buy. If I want to get a computer part, I drive all the way to Fremont, CA to Fry's. Really sucks the tech market here in CA sucks, even considering Silicon Valley. DAMN YOU CALIFORNIA.

Anyways like every one said i normally tend to go to frys or microcenter. depending on why you want to go look at stuff bestbuy or other places maybe ok  if you want to look at keyboards and mice but i would recommend buying online unless they have a good price in the stores.

 

No. Especially if all you get is a chinese made 64MB flash drive for 5 cents.

what 5 cents? that is crazy the last 64MB flash drive i bought was 35$

is it odd that i have a bigger micro sd card then flash drives now lol

Why has nobody mentioned NCIX!!!

NCIX is honestly a very terrible retailer i have found. Their sales associates (At least in Markham, ON.) know absolutely nothing as does the manager there. They have close to nothing on display. There shipping is also terrible as is there webstie. Very un-user friendly.

I have had the complete opposite experience. 

I have also found the associates to be very helpful and knowledable, with plenty of products on display.

I have continued to be astonished with there service and I always go there whenever I need something as long as they carry it.

Staples. (Overpriced)

Best Buy. (Overpriced)

Microcenter.

Online is your best option with the exception of amazing Microcenter deals.

they both price match and Staples has had some insane online deals recently that beat everyone elses'

Don't talk crap about NCIX. Especially, where Linus used to work.

I do not see why it matters? I have an opinion about an retailer. I can say it. I am sharing my experience with them. I am not saying the employees are bad. The company is bad.
