问HN：谁还记得Fry's Electronics——IT人士的“圣殿”？
出于某种原因，我今天想起了2000年代初我第一次去圣荷西参加SANS学院课程的经历，以及发现Fry's电子商店的那一刻。在那之前，我在世界其他地方从未见过如此丰富的内容，可以用来组装自己的电脑或相关工具，这一切让我感到无比惊奇。
不过，最美好的回忆来自于我作为芝加哥人时得知我们将拥有自己的Fry's商店的那段时间。那时，科技爱好者社区的兴奋之情无以言表，我们甚至分享了Downers Grove那块正在建设的土地的进展照片，接着是建筑的逐步完工（墙一块一块地建）。
我们常常称这个地方为“IT人士的教堂”，因为我们会在周末去那里，待上“弥撒”（相当于一个时间段）和更多的时间。
哦，时光啊！

For some reason I remembered today my first trip to San Jose, in the early 2000s, for a SANS Institute class, and discovering the Fry's Electronics store. The amazing content of what one could use to build own computers, or tools for use with such, was like nothing else I have ever seen, anywhere else in the world where I've been, up until that point.<p>Some of the best related memories, though, come from the time when - as Chicagoan - I learned we will be getting our own Fry's. The excitement in the geeks community was so great, at the time, that we were sharing pictures of the progress of the actual lot being worked on, then the building (walls by walls), in Downers Grove.<p>We used to call the place "the church of IT people", simply because we would go there over the weekend, and stay over for the "mass" (equivalent time) and then some.<p>O tempora!
