Video games are to blame

It was not very often that I was allowed to go to Toys-R-Us as a child; we did not have any money for things like toys. When my mom and dad finally knuckled under and got a TV (black and white, 13") when I was 13, the Toys-R-Us commercials were the highlights of the fall and winter.

Amazon, Wallmart and Gamestop finally kicked them down. I did not realize that they used to be the #2 retailer of computer software.
