They never seemed to like walk-ins in any case. The few times in the past
couple of years when I've walked in, in an attempt to buy something small,
if just to try to support a local store instead of MicroCenter, I got
tired of waiting for assistance and finally had to flag someone out of the
back. Even then, they seemed most uniterested in me, or my business. I
gave them two shots at talking to me, trying to build a relationship
between their company and mine starting with small transactions, but they
blew it both times. I'll never go back there again. I am glad their store
is closing, perhaps this will encourage someone else to try running a
decent computer store in the area.

Anyone who is wondering why the Massachusetts economy is lagging behind
the rest of the country in growth only has to look at how difficult it is
to do business here: horrible suppliers, high prices, high taxes, and
exhorbinant rent, just to name a few drawbacks.
