 It's odd, since the percentage of people who owned computers was so
 low, but in big cities, there were computer stores every half-mile or
 so. Most of my computers were work cast-offs, but when I switched jobs
 and cashed out my PTO, I splurged on a local shop PC - they custom
 built everything to your specs, so I could get a video card that Linux
 supported (not so easy back then) and even specify a soft or clicky
 keyboard with my build.

 Now, everyone has something at their house, but the stores are gone.
 Shame.
