Good Memories Of The Early Days Of Personal Computers
From the Commodore 64 to the Amiga 1000, Amiga 500, and Amiga 2000 and later the Commodore PC's, we had a ball learning about computers, software, games and more.
Every week or so we had club meetings in the St Pete store and computers were so popular that often there would be people waiting by the door in the morning when we unlocked the doors.
If you have pictures of the old store, our staff or some of our customers from back in the 1980's we'd appreciate it if you'd let us post them on this web site.
