so i am in copenhagen, denmark this semester and taking the train, i saw a computer city! i havent seen one of those in the states in 6 or 7 years. I bought my first computer part there, a 5gb western digital hard drive for $150! anyone know if they are only in europe now?
 
You mean the one by Nordhavn Station? I live about 100m from it🙂

The Computer City that was near me in Salt Lake, UT was bought out by CompUSA.
 
im not sure exactly where it is, i think its between Hellerup and Osterport on the green line train. i live right by Kokkedel station, so i take that train into copenhagen all the time. so then i guess there arent any left in the states, i assume that they died out were aquired
 
Yeah, they were bought out by CompUSA years ago.

I remember buying my first 28.8 modem there. Major upgrade from my 2400 baud.
 
Yeah, that would be Nordhavn. I remember being suprised too when I saw it, haven't been in it yet though.

I've been up to Kokkedal a couple of times, nice area but out of the way. What are you studying in Denmark? Are you doing an exchange program with KU or CBS?
 
I think they were all bought by CompUSA. Computer City...wasnt that a Radio Shack Company, like Incredible universe?

Same here.

My first "real" computer was purchased from Computer City on credit.

Paid $1,400 for an Apple Performa 630CD with 14" monitor, bling bling bling!
 
Bought my first mouse from them. Went well with my brand spanking new 486 dx4 100. Never needed a mouse with my previous computers 🙂
