Computertime

Near the corner of Fair Oaks Blvd and Greenback Lane used to exist a small computer store. If I recall correctly, it was called Computer World Computertime (Thanks, Ray!) and existed during the late 80's and early 90's. It's long gone, but I had a dream about it the other night which prompted me to go a couple miles out of my way today to take this picture of where it used to be. In the picture, it was right where the Taqueria and Subway are now.

My friends and I would go there from time to time to buy Commodore 64 and Amiga software and hardware. I remember buying a modem there. They started selling IBM XT stuff shortly before the Commodore era collapsed but went out of business not too long afterward. I found it odd to dream of such a place but I guess that's the nature of dreaming. I haven't thought about that place in a very long time.
