I've never had a good experience with them.  Now I avoid them like the
black plague.  :)

The L/A Area is certainly lacking in a good computer shop.  (...and that
new store in the Auburn mall with 3 computers is just sad.)

Actually, I wonder if one of the malls with some vacant space would be
willing to let AVCnet use the space for free.  (Promenade Mall comes to
mind...seems that they might be willing to do ANYTHING to get people to go
there!)  Anyway, you could setup "computer workshops" or "computer learning
centers" several nights a week.  Seems like everyone could benefit from
something like that.
(And if you need a speaker on Internet or Macintosh, I might be available.)

Maybe AVCnet could even organize a computer show in such a place.

These are just some ideas I've been dragging around for a while.
