I remember walking into this new type of "place" called a "computer store" - they sold only computers!
They had the new Apple ][ (you didn't have to "build a case" for it - YAY!) hooked up to a Sony Trinitron TV in the window with a seat, I sat there for hours - a living store display...
Someone broke into the store, and stole only the Sony TV....
They closed and moved somewhere else - can't remember where. At least I got to try the "new" TI-99/4 before they left...
