 bl> I wrote a bit about a local software rental shop we had in the late '80s /
 bl> early '90s where I grew up in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. They
 bl> rented software for the C64, Apple II, Amiga, and PC. The rented movies as
 bl> well and in time started selling Amigas (I bought my Amiga 1200HD there). 

 bl> Did anyone else have such a place way back when?

 Yes I did! And I really miss those computer stores. I loved browsing all the
software and new computers. But then Comp-usa came to town and the little guys
didn't stand a chance. There was Amiga store I was very fond of. I still use my
old clunkers but I don't need much for BBSing. When one craps out there's
hundreds of them on E-bay. Maybe my next laptop will come from Retronet ???
