Slowly drying up, but there are still a couple.
Computer Garage has a
very small variety, off of I-35 at Johnson Drive, on Merriam Drive.
You mean there's a competing Computer Garage in Kansas, now that Jim
Willing has moved there? I'll bet they never saw that coming.
Speaking of which, why not go visit Jim Willing?
I'm sure he'll pipe up about whether he wants random visitors to his farm
or if he'll take shots at you with salt to drive you off his
propatee. .

As the not-terribly-proud owner of some rock-salt scars, I can verify
that it gets out to 50-60 feet just fine, in a fairly tight group. At
that range, you get about .125" penetration.
FWIW, the treatment for embedded salt particles is a long soak in a
warm bath. Hurts a _hell_ of a lot worse than getting shot.

I got a taste of the rock-salt treatment when I was in my early teens. We (a
few of my friends from school and I) decided to go watermelon stealing at one
of the truck farms north of town. Just to make it "sporty," or maybe because
we were REALLY stupid, we wore shorts when we did that. I found I was pretty
good at getting through a barbed-wire fence on the run. IIRC, watermelon was
sold for 3-cents per pound back then, so I don't know what the attraction was.
It cost more than $0.60, even at the $0.25 per gallon that gasoline cost back
then, just to get there.
Having, since then, been bludgeoned, stabbed, shot, twice with .45-cal. ammo,
btw, among others, and otherwise abused, I have to say that, while the rock
salt was painful, I'd much sooner be confronted with a 10-guage of that rather
than a comparable load of #2-shot. Back when I was given to such pursuits, we
used #2 for ducks, #5 for jump-shooting pheasant in the cornfield, and #9 for
quail over pointing dogs. We used lead shot back then. I am told it's no
longer allowed.

That episode was the final proof that I was never meant to be a
thief, and my last attempt in that field (no pun intended). I was
really bad at it.

ROFL! I should have known it would be for something like that!
