I had a similar experience only for me in the 70's/80's it was Dick Smith Electronics for parts, and then the Computer Age store with its Apple II and Atari stock .. those were definitely different times. The sales guy even gave me a floppy to save my code on - after school, I'd hurry down there to get a couple hours of free computing time. Man, what a rush.
