[GTALUG] another unique store gone: Above All Electronic Surplus

[Karen Lewellen]

Oh I am crushed.
Steve had, and understood some of the most  creative things about

I have cables in my home and production studio that I simply could not 
find  in town anywhere, especially after Radio shack went away.
Above all was a  computer maintenance dream as well.
*sniff!*
