The Amiga store we had near us was interesting. A guy that ran a local user group managed it, but a PC business type guy owned the place. The user group guy was a pleasure to talk to about all things micro related, but owner knew nothing about Amiga or PC's. Just fancied himself as this entrepreneur that could care less about computers, but loved to talk about himself. What he had done with his life. Where all he had been, etc. This is the place that used an AtariST for their POS cash duties.

Bought an A1200 from them and lots of software. Was always nice perusing all the Amiga goods. They had a fair amount too, but I remember it dwindled big time by the mid 90's until finally - the user group guy and the Amiga disappeared  :(

Never been in a Apple store and never been in a Microsoft store and I plan to keep it that way.
Never heard of a brick and mortar Microsoft store before this thread. Wow. Are there no boundaries to what they'll try to copy? According to Wiki, at least they only have 7 of the God forsaken places. :lol:
