They had a good run, unlike the Atari ST and Amiga shops that went bust not years after opening.

There was a store here that specialized in Newton hardware which, for a few years, was flying high and could do no wrong. Then the end came and they shuttered the store.

That was heartbreaking. We had a Concorde moment there and we still haven't caught up with it.

My favorite part about waiting at tekserve was always getting your ticket and then just watching the fish in that giant aqua-scaped freshwater aquarium they had. It was so impressive. I always wondered who maintained that thing.
