Forgot all ABOUT these!
Store didn't last long- even tho flooded with business....
-
Lemme know if you want to see more.
-
these are cool. I like the style of 90's hand drawn art.

At first I thought it was for the ComputerCity down at the mall by the interstate. They sold Macs, too, and had a service bureau for film.
Just out of curiosity, did you used to live around here? I worked catywampus across the street at the Maitland Avenue intersection at Florida Software Services (711 Building) which in the early 90s had become Kirchman Corp.

Thanks for the compliment; Crumb was very good!

Zap Comics came out when I was in high school, they weren't my father's comics, LOL. I bet Frog knows what I mean...

Very nice drawings but they also make me laugh because of the computer specs. I thought I had something when I had a computer like that in the past.

It was HILARIOUS: they had a voice-over man imitating the Terminator saying these lines on the radio! Everytime I went there the store was packed!
I don't remember- but a partner or their accountant stole funds- and the store went under after 2 6 months......

-GASP!- ONE MEG RAM!!!!!!
-
The Mac Plus I learned on had 1 MB of RAM, and an external 20 MB hard drive, that cost over $600 in 1990. Floppy drive or could add some extra drives (SCSI) and a 9" Black and White screen, no gray or color. I figured out how to upgrade it to 4MB of RAM, it really screamed then, let me tell ya...

Actually, if your father was into comics at all, that "pre comics code" stuff was pretty heavy in its own right!
As our comic fan-boy Mad knows well, some of the covers are classic!

My first Mac was a !!si. One meg of RAM soldered onto the motherboard, cracked my wallet for another. 40 meg hard drive.
Coupled with a Macintosh 13" monitor which was the standard at the time.
Invoice attached to show how far we've come in terms of bang for the buck. I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro I bought last year for $1700.

Imagine in the NEXT 20 years!

man those ads bring back some OLD memories...
I remember getting the 'Computer Shopper' magazine and pouring over the deals....
started in 1986 with a clone 8088 (nec-v20 "turbo") with hercules mono graphics, single 360k floppy drive, dos 2.1, and 640k added a 20 meg! hard drive for like $800..

My dad's comic reading days were in the Twenties, nothing nasty there, but I remember EC comics, lots of blood and gore...

There were comic books in the 20s????

I didn't use the word "books" on purpose, it would have been the comics in the newspapers for dad as far as I know.

Yeah, there actually weren't any "Comic Books" until the "30's, though in 1929, Dell gave us a glimpse of what was to come. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Funnies)
As for the beginning of comic strips, historians actually credit the cave dwellers of Lascaux, France 17,000 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lascaux)!
This actually was the subject of a paper I wrote back in school around 1973!
