		guiambros on Jan 16, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years (1998) CompUSA and Borders have a special place in my heart. I'm from a 3rd world country, so visiting them was a sacred ritual anytime I had the privilege to visit the US. I always brought an extra bag mostly for books, and sometimes a Sound Blaster, some extra memory or a US Robotics card, or a fancy Handspring Visor and some Dreamcast games :)

Back when Creative Labs was a company deserving of consumer support, nowadays I actively avoid them completely.
