The Micro Center up on 14 mile (I think) is pretty solid, even though it’s also an older location. The “weakest” one in the region IMHO is Cleveland.

The Columbus location hasn’t really changed over the years. There was a time where it was pretty bare, but now it’s almost as amazing as it was in the 90s. And still has the same layout / look.

I’m pretty sure I saw Schindler’s List, as a school assignment, the year it came out (I was 10). Probably explains, in part, why I think Nazis are bad.

But I believe my first flatbed scanner was SCSI. That I bought at Micro Center in Columbus (the home of Micro Center). Never thought that store would be seeing a growth spurt some 30 years later.

My first Zip drive, IIRC, used the parallel port which meant it was slow. But still faster than a floppy.

Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now

If population growth were a concern for these billionaires and politicians, they'd encourage higher wages, universal healthcare, universal pre-k, funding public schools, and ensuring kids have food to eat. And so on, and so on. Public confidence in the future leads to more people reproducing.
