The long, strange journey of Amiga products - Nostalgia moment
« on: December 16, 2003, 10:29:01 PM »
Years ago, there was a great Amiga store (in Waltham? Winchester? One of those W towns in Eastern Massachusetts) called The Memory Location. They had a huge Amiga software selection, Toaster-equipped 2000s available for demonstration, in-store demonstrations of new games (got the very last copy of Superfrog!), used software, Euro mags, and probably loads of other stuff that I can't remember. The declining Amiga market forced them to start stocking PC stuff (I think they eventually went PC-only), and they folded a while after that.

I recently ordered some RKMs from a used book dealer in California. They showed up today, and one of them still had a price sticker on it from... The Memory Location! Dated June 1993. Phew!

Anyone else remember the Memory Location?

I remember them well. I forget their names except they were not only 2 store owners who loved the Amiga but just good friends of everyone who came into the store. I bought my Amiga 2000 there and Dave religiously fixed it whenever I had a problem. Usually  CIAs. I bought there often and resold stuff there too on consignment. Still hacking on an A4000T now mainly because of their help. It wasn't just a sale for them, they liked their shop. Sad they came and went just like the Amiga in 94. Amiga still lives in hearts and minds of users who were the trailblazers that found their way to The Memory Location and it was in Wellesley I believe.
