There is one in Indiana and one is Illinois. The next closest (not practically) is in Georgia. The rest are on the west coast and Texas.

Agreed, there are no Fry's on the eastern side of the country. I live in Ohio so I've never been to one, though I wish they were over here.

Thanks for the information! Staples is the place I go every year. Luckily In my area I only have to show up 3 - 2 1/2 hours early to be near the front of the line (knock on wood). I might be interested in a GPS this year, but I usually try to get all the hard drives and flash drives. I'm getting excited now as we finally have a post in this forum.

LOL! I watch that movie at least 4 times a year. I can almost quote that entire movie. Now I might have to pick it up on Blu-Ray and see Ralphie in Hi-Def goodness (Once I get my HDTV on Black Friday)!

Eat breakfast! Get home and savor my new goodies, then lament over all the money I spent.

That is incorrect. It is February 17, 2009 that OVER THE AIR analog broadcast will cease. If you have satellite, cable, or some other TV plan that does not use rabbit ears to get a signal, your TV WILL continue to operate just fine. But at some date in 2012 these operators will have to switch to digital on their networks, THEN NO analog TV's will work without a converter box.
