Re: [TCLUG:21990] Computer stores in the Twin Cities?

[<Nick.T.Reinking@supervalu.com>]

I gave MicroCenter a visit this weekend - they're not too far from me.

However, I was only mildly impressed. While they have a _huge_ selection
of stuff (beating Borders, General Nanosystems, and CompUSA), they have
CompUSA-ish prices.

For a company that makes their money moving large quantities of goods,
I wasn't that impressed.

Ooo!  Speaking of good deals, tho, CompUSA has a special on the Iomega
4x4x6x External USB burner (for only $200).  Supposedly, it works with the 2.4
USB stuff and cdrdao.  Good news to hear, especially for us laptop owners.  :)

I just visited Micro Center in St. Louis Park. It was right off of Highway
100 and 36th Street West (next to Burlington Coat Factory). I think it's
only been open for a couple days. It still had that new store smell.

It's a pretty cool place. It's what you'd get if you took the best parts
of Border's, CompUSA, and General Nano and put them under one roof. It's
about the size of a CompUSA, maybe a little smaller. The prices were
pretty decent. The location kinda blows, expect to do a couple u-turns if
you're not familiar with the area.

Man, Dark Angel and a cool new computer store in the same week, and it's
not even Friday yet.
