@Itty53 @blogdiva Remember when building PC's was such a thing and lots of companies popped up selling parts and customizable bits. Plus 3-D printing tech would make this fun, phone building!!

@moondog548 @RickiTarr @[email protected] but it's not the same. radio shacks were everywhere. i have to travel miles now to get to a microcenter and newegg only exists online for me (though at one point they were a store here in manhattan). it just doesn't scratch that tinkerer/maker itch the same way.

@moondog548 @RickiTarr @[email protected] longass time ago in the aughts. i think the store started here and then moved online. it was on what would be Broadway between 34th & 33rd street but it's a part of that street that is closed to traffic. would have been diagonal from Macy's on 34th.
