Hi, I also recommend University Micro Center on 42nd St. I have bought several rebuilt laptops that work fine, and have had my own laptop reconditioned there with excellent results.

UCMC is still pretty good and not expensive if say, your hobbyist relative destroys your CPU while tinkering with it... Also, the pastor who protested the McDonald's is now getting two 20 story Campus Apartment towers a block away from him: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/colleges/20110901_PhillyDeals__Reigniting_N_Y_-Phila__college_b-ball_rivalry.html Amara On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 8:54 PM, missthin <misst...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Wilma, that would be Rev. Larry Falcom and this is why: http://www.mcspotlight.org/media/press/mcds/ainfosnewsservi200801.html I have to say, I miss a couple of the businesses that used to be where the CVS, et. al. are. The really good (at the time) computer shop in that little row of businesses was great. I had a computer built for me that would have cost a lot more if I'd been able to find the same specs. When the diner first opened there it was very good and not the small ridiculously priced (it's a diner!) and not good food place it turned into.

Too bad they were not successful in trying to move the McDonald's to Market Street when they tore down the Modern Laundry Company. There was a Minister who set up a coalition against McPenntrification whose name escapes me. So close, yet so far from The Promised Land.
