I’m almost ashamed to say that even though I’m in the computer field, I don’t know much of the offerings here in town. Part of that is intangible—I wouldn’t put services and repairs only here in the shopping guide; part of that is, well, I just don’t need to hit those stores much, I suppose. I’ll likely be updating this particular post as I go. Connecting Point I like Connecting Point; they carry a variety … Continue reading →

Unfortunately, the person I talked to didn’t know the details—when the final day(s) will be, when/if things will go on sale—but I’ll keep an eye on them post updates here.
