People are clueless. We asked the kid we bought the new monitor from at Circuit City if it was slow there because of the housing crunch. He said, what's the housing crunch? We gave him a 4 word explanation.
Then he said, he lived in Orlando most of the time, so he didn't know. I said the housing crunch was in Orlando too. He was puzzled. True this was a kid, but he may as well be from Mars instead of Orlando.
He did say things had slowed down after the big Black Friday weekend sales.
