You will need an active internet connection to use this, so if you don't have a smartphone or PDA phone with internet access, you're out of luck.

If you grew up in the 1980's and you were somewhere in New York City, then you probably remember that nut Crazy Eddie.
It was an electronics/computer store that grew into a chain of stores. They always had a big selection and the latest stuff.
But they were also not very honest. They often sold used products as new. I brought a Commodore 128D from them and it looked used, but I kept it anyway because they weren't being manufactured. Commodore went under. Too bad, they made nice products.
