   Fry's Electronics has been walking dead for more than two years, well before   
   the   
   pandemic.  I'm surprised they held on this long.  I read reports of aisles and   
   aisles of empty shelves, with little merchandise to purchase.  Employees gave   
   vague answers when asked about restocking.  It was apparent that they were   
   having cash flow problems, and that their suppliers were no longer extending   
   credit.   
      
   One of the last signature Silicon Valley retail icons has fallen.  Computer   
   Literacy Bookstores, Weird Stuff Warehouse, and a handful of lesser known,   
   similar stores are all gone now.  It was an electronics/computer nerd's   
   paradise.
