For a day at least. Anybody know of any good tech shops to browse? Just got my issue of Make magazine, and my brain is hurting from all the ideas. Was wondering if there were any better shops than Radio Shack *shudder*, that's all there is here on Maui. I'm open to suggestions. Also, if anybody wants to meet up or anything, I'm down. My wife will be tied-up all day Saturday, and I'll be by my lonesome, left to the devices of public transportation...

Go to Zippys, eat chili and fried chicken, visit their bakery for dessert and get a "napoleon", waddle over to the beach, fall asleep on the sand, burn to a crisp, marinade, flip over, burn again.

you should stay in your hotel room, close the shades, and post on OT the entire time :thumbsup:

What about places that might sell haxor shirts? "I read your email", or "wardriving is not a crime"? Hot Topic isn't cutting it... Sure I could get them online, but since I'm there already...

No real "tech shops" unless you count CompUSSR, Office Max/Depot, etc etc etc.

Even CompUSSR seemed like a Mecca of some sort last time I went. Hadn't been to Toys 'R Us in awhile either. We have Officemax here, and I still can't believe people pay $40 for a 1.1 USB hub.

But shopping for PC hardware isn't what I call "R&R"?

Well, it's more "rural" and the population size does not support as many stores, so a lot of people come with shopping in mind :) Just like someone might drive 50 miles to a bigger city.
