You could tell their cables from a mile away--they were blue, when
everyone else was beige, grey or black.
I think Xerox also briefly ran a "business supply" operation around
the same time. CDC also had retail stores, but none close to my
location (that I can remember). Both offered some great deals at
their "going out of business" sales. Did Tab also run a similar
operation? And then there was Moore for just about any kind of paper
you needed--I used to buy lots of tractor feed green-bar paper from
them.
