The end of an era
Posted By matt on September 22, 2003
Liz and I went to a computer show yesterday. It was basically dead. I suppose the problem is the internet. Why bother to buy lots of stuff and cart it around to shows when you can just set up an online store and ship it to people? They had some cheap media, but that was about it. The other prices were competitive at best, and the selection was so-so. Ironic that the items that you are selling are what is radically altering your business. So, I guess computer fairs are dying out.
Kate and Simon came over last night for dinner. Simon brought strawberry wine. It was good, but a little sweet for my taste. I made chicken and salad and au gratin potatoes (from scratch, no boxes. That would be lame). American Pie was on TV, and we all lamented the lack of decent music in the past ten years or so. But, I suppose everyone says that about the music of their youth and everything since.
