Computer Stores

by wayne.smith＠charter.net

The LA Times called it the first computer store in a story in December 1975. The first ad for the store ran in July of that year. I've put scans of the article and the ad here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/S53vBGs6irzqoLR37 > Message: 7 > Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2020 22:02:53 -0700 (PDT) > From: Fred Cisin <cisin at xenosoft.com> > To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" > <cctalk at classiccmp.org> > Subject: Re: Computer stores > Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.2008222156370.19726 at shell.lmi.net> > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > When dozens or hundreds start up within weeks or months of each > other, > every one is important, and most are interesting, but "FIRST" or > "STARTED > THE TREND" (implying being the "first") cease to really mean anything. > > It's generally better to never use the word "FIRST"; there is almost > always a lesser known one that was earlier. > > The trend from being a sideline within a business, to becoming the > primary focus of the business can seem anticlimactic, but is what marks > the core of the transition. > Think of Fry's, NLS, etc. > > > On Sat, 22 Aug 2020, jim stephens via cctalk wrote: > > > > > > > On 8/22/2020 9:53 AM, Chuck Guzis via cctalk wrote: > >> On 8/22/20 8:52 AM, Murray McCullough via cctalk wrote: > >>> 45 yrs. ago last month, mid-July, Dick Heiser started a new > industry, the > >>> retail computer store.

old data books?

by uban＠ubanproductions.com

I'm trying to reduce the amount of "stuff" I have and I've been carrying around a significant number of old data books. My plan has always been to have all of the resources I need in my retirement (assuming I get there) to work on and repair the various vintage computing hardware I've also collected over time and have been storing. My question is if I this information is all now available online or if I need to keep these data books. My guess is that it is some of both. Also, if I decide to part with these, should I create a list and make them available for the cost of shipping or just recycle them? Maybe someone collects them? --tom

Dolch (DLI) Logic Analyzer C100 Disassembler Roms?

by holm＠freibergnet.de

Hi guys, I have three Dolch Logic Analyzers, the two bigger ones are Palas <someting> Analyzers, one of them with an highspeed option, the third is an Compact 100 Analyzer. For the bigger ones I have Disassemblers for 8080/8085 and Z80 as far as I know. I want to use the C100 with a Z80 disassembler, but the ROM images are different it seems, the roms don't work in the C100. Has anyone the rom images for the C100 Z80 disassembler?

Computer stores

by c.murray.mccullough＠gmail.com

45 yrs. ago last month, mid-July, Dick Heiser started a new industry, the retail computer store. It opened in West L.A. under the name Arrow Head COmputer Company. aka, The Computer Store. This began the direct marketing of microcomputers to hobbyists, later to the masses of the middle class, albeit a small market 45 yrs. ago. Happy computing. Murray ?
