NCIX grand opening sale

[Paul King]

Not impressed. The '000 or so people in line slowly died out around 11AM, but 
the lineup was extremely slow. The last 75 meters or so took over 2 hours when 
I was in line. People in front of me waited 4 hours. By 4PM, after I had come 
out of one of the myriad restaurants there, there was still that same "two 
hour" lineup, and they close today at 5.

Inside, a small store with few people allowed in at a time. I was impressed 
with what they had, but the size of the store limited their range of offerings 
by a great deal. 

I was intending to buy a monitor for a desktop computer, but saw nothing that 
looked less expensive than anywhere else. I left empty-handed. 

There was some other stuff there that looked interesting, like their system 
boxes and power supplies. But again, their selection was surprisingly sparse, 
and their prices were nothing to brag about, IMO.
