And the wheel turns once more. I recall the days when Blockbuster came in and crushed the independent movie stores, removing a unique experience for movie lovers.
Instead of going into the independent store and talking with an associate that was passionate about movies and could recommend unique films, the Blockbuster stores came to town staffed with mostly kids that if the movie didn't gross over 70 million then most of the employees had never heard of it. That is not to say all Blockbusters were like that but the local independent movie store was a unique business to America.
Thankfully Netflix has brought a better selection and the ability for consumers to have better tools to research and choose movies base upon their unique tastes.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"

So long Blockbuster, you had a pretty good run.
