Now all we need to do is get them to stay open 24 hours. :) -----Original Message----- From: Jason J [mailto:jasonj at innominatus.com] Sent: Monday, October 09, 2000 9:47 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG:21990] Computer stores in the Twin Cities? I also went to MicroCenter. I was very impressed. I thought there prices were very competitive considering there is no shipping costs for me to pay and you have a local point for returns. Those things easily make up for the 1 or 2 dollars more I would pay for an item. They had some sweet deals on Maxtor 15 Gig drives for like $70. And a 8x CDRW for $120. They are going to see alot of business from me!
