うん, I pretty much realized that this time around.  I really wanted a big box store purchase in case of defects but I guess that isn't happening.  (I considered macs for this reason but I'd prefer not to get into that)

It's sad that they have turned Akiba into another generic part of Tokyo.  My wife cleans my ears for free, hence no need to visit anymore, except for HDs at times.  

(I live in Nakano too so I can buy my Transformers without shelling out for train fare too lol.)
