Well I definitely agree with you on the RAM, only once have I gotten
away will the Fry's bin special cheapo crap RAM.  But as far as CD-R's
go.  I always by the cheapest that I can get and never have any
problems.  The Fry's GQ spindles are great, especially when you get them
on a Friday special.  Now I will NEVER buy the cheap DVD/CD drives or
burners - every time my friends buy those things - they work for about a
week, start making noise, and then might read a CD if you talk nice to
it!

Fry's is a perfect place if you know what you want, know what not to buy
- definitely not the place for Grandma and Grandpa to shop for computer
gear.
