Reminds me of the iMac colored CRT PCs from back then. The ones that melted CDs if you needed to re-image them

I live in the Pacific Northwest and we used to have a Comp USA here, closest MicroCenter is in Denver and 1100 miles away. Damn I miss that Comp USA.

Yeah, visiting a local CompUSA store on weekends is a highlight of the week...lol
Grabbing some dot matrix printing paper and maybe the latest copy of the thick and fat Computer Shopper magazine while looking around in the store...lol.
The internet was not as developed as now. No computer forums.....basically only BBS and ICQ.
