<div dir="ltr">We've been getting stuff from GIM for the last 20 years or so. We order online too but a lot of the time it's just easier to go get it now, when we need it. It's super convenient for us, at Northside Dr & Deering Rd. They build their own computers and also carry a lot of off-lease 2-year-old boxes that we've had good luck with. One thing is they don't have much to browse--for most parts and components, you ask and they bring it out. I guess this helps with theft and people just leaving stuff somewhere it doesn't belong after they change their minds. I know a lot of people go to Target, Best Buy, and Walmart for computers, routers, printers, and components these days--I'm mostly thinking of people not in IT professionally. The owner (I believe) Jim is very nice and knowledgeable too! I remember going into CompUSA many times back in the day and asking a question and finding the salespeople completely ignorant on the technical side.<br><br><a href="http://gimcomputers.com/">http://gimcomputers.com/</a><div><br>Scott</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 2:03 PM Chuck Payne via Ale <<a href="mailto:ale@ale.org">ale@ale.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">/please read with tune Peter, Paul and Mary in mind <br><br>So being here in Atlanta since 93, one thing I use to enjoy was going to computer stores, like <br><br>Delta Computer near Osais<div>The many Chinese/Korean Computer Shops along Jimmy Carter Blvd. <br>There was that odd shop in Alpharetta that sold computer stuff that was from trucks that were damaged. <br>Tiger Direct up in Jefferson ( Now Amazon warehouse )</div><div><br>Where are all the computer stores, has Amazon really killed mom/pop computer store? <br><br>I know Vision is still around on Jimmy Carter.
