Apples to apples
I made a special trip up to Latham to see if any Apple-related merchandise was still available at the CompUSA store closing sale. Not even so much as a copy of Quicken for Mac (which is what I was after) let alone any Sims expansion packs. CompUSA always had a decent selection of Mac machines and accessories, and sometimes parts and accessories, like the old AC adapters, that even the big Apple Store in Albany didn’t keep in stock. I discovered this after my adapter caught fire and I bought a third-party one.
We Mac users have few opportunities to buy software at a discount in a retail store, since there’s so little competition. So I braved the nonsensical traffic patterns of Latham Farms to at least try.

Laurie,
I was there yesterday, there is actually a lot of Mac software and memory left it is on the backside of the Camera Counter in cases, all 30% off. There was most of the Apple branded titles iLife ’08, iWork ’08 etc.. also some pricier like apeture. Since you can never find this discounted that is a very good deal, I had just bought copies of both plus Leopard and a few other title a couple of weeks ago on line. I would have saved $200!
Thanks, Marc! I’ll go check that out, then.
