As a side note on the conversation, I'm impressed by how well Best Buy is adapting to the changing demands of the consumers. Rather than desperately promoting the same stuff that has worked for them for decades, they see the writing on the wall and are changing their focus.

I completely agree. I love and respect businesses that are flexible enough to embrace changes in consumer demands rather than vehemently attempt to avoid changes in the marketplace.

Businesses like Blockbuster are a prime example of this. Entire industries such as the entertainment industry (namely movie and music) have tried very hard to avoid changes in consumer demands.
