Looking for local computer store



Thanks to everyone who replied thus far. I went to MicroCenter and was 
suitable impressed with all the bargains I saw for returned but perfectly 
good products. For instance, I picked up a LinkSys 10/100 PC Card adapter 
for my wife's laptop for about $30.00. And I got 256MB PC133 RAM for $30. I 
don't need more RAM, but how can you go wrong at those prices? :-)

I'll check out the other stores as well. Cambridge is a little far to drive 
if I want to just browse. Thanks!
