Been working on this video for the last few weeks for an hour or two per day.  I've actually been planning it for years, but with Fry's Electronics going under, I decided it was definitely time to make this.

House repairs should be done in about a week at this point, at which time we can start the process of moving back in.  I have 4 other videos already in progress, which I think you're going to like.  Releases should start coming more regularly now.

Just joined the patreon, although I have been following your work for the last 2 years or so. Great breakdown as to why electronics stores went this way, unfortunately I am too young to remember the heyday of these stores, although I miss the days of things like Media Play, Sam Goody, and other awesome media stores. I will say, although this is nitpicky, using the phrase "this went the way of Kodak" is incorrect. I am from Rochester, NY where Kodak is located. Although Kodak is nowhere near how big it used to be, Kodak still exists and is still in business. They went into restructuring bankruptcy, not liquidation bankruptcy. They are more focused on business to business service, mostly focused on printing. They do have their logo slapped on cameras and other things still, although those products are manufactured by other companies.

Totally remembered Suncoast video as a teen. They had a great selection of Japanese anime in which I always admired but couldn’t afford. They closed mine back in 2007 but we still have FYE which was owned by the same parent company as Suncoast. Ah my memories of youth.
