    Egghead Software

    Recently I remembered there used to be an Egghead Software store in Maplewood and I remember going there as a kid.

    I was reading up on the place today-



    This amused me-

    A 1989 newspaper promotion in the Los Angeles area announcing the grand opening of the Pasadena, CA store offered a coupon offering customers a free 5 ¼” 360k disk for showing up - at the time an unprecedented offer. Customers were lined up out the doors and down the block, an indication of the insatiable desire for software in the booming personal computer market.
    When we got to my place, I already had a candle burning. It was by "Glade", which I think you pronounce like the singer Sade, because it is an exotic candle that smells just like real pine.

        I remember when 3.5" came out, and people getting confused because even though they were a floppy disk, they had a plastic shell.

        Moron: "Don't you mean a hard disk?"
        Me: "No. a 3.5" floppy disk"
        Moron: "But the only floppy one I have is 5.25"
        Me: "Check again. You got a 3.5" one" (cue me hitting the mute button trying to stifle my laughter)
