I miss those little computer shops, there were two good Amiga shops near me one of them had a tech who built and sold adapters; RGB to VGA ect...
On the plus side, the modern big computer shops staffed by people with zero computer knowledge sometimes make happy mistakes.
Like the time a friend went to buy a stick of RAM and the cashier thought the whole box was one unit, so sold him a box of 50 sticks for the price of one! He shuffled out of there real quick.
