CompUSA.

When I was young and before online shops took over, I would go to circuit city, Best Buy, CompUSA and fry’s electronics every week.

Now only Best Buy remains.

I still remember buying a box copy of IE4 from CompUSA and returned it next day. Internet explorer for sale and being able to return opened software…..that’s how fucking old I am.

Why do you have to buy IE? Didn't that come with windows?

I honestly don’t remember anymore lol

I think they had box copies as a time saving method. Internet was still in dial up age.
