Yeah, I loved going to Toronto Computer Books on Yonge St. north of
College.  I bought a ton of stuff from them, everything from the
Yggdrasil (sp) Linux distro to OReilly books.  They always had a great
Linux/Unix section, and the old computers they had on the shelf above
the books were cool to look at.

A store like that would be "fun" to run, but ultimately it doesn't
make a whole lot of money.

The good old days...

*sigh*
