I haven't been into a "computer store" in a long time.
My only visit into a Mac store wasn't too good. It was in the late 90's and I was doing some phone system work and needed a serial cable. The store was close so I stopped in and asked the salesman if they had a DB25 cable? I still remember what he said:
"We don't use that terminology in here. Do you mean Mac to Modem or Mac to Printer?"
I just asked to see the cables, grabbed one (Yes, they did have one; I didn't ask "what they called it") and left.
I liked the Amiga store; which really wasn't. It was a computer store. They sold Atari, Amiga and PC clones. They had them all set up and you could almost always test what they had for sale. He sold a lot of Amiga's, but I remember he was also happy with a "new" Nec Laptop that was selling very well.
(Funny, the things you remember...)
