Can anyone remember the computer shop that was on Seaview Road in Liscard in the 80s? Been racking my brain and I can’t for the life of me remember its name! I used to work in Fads and I’d always go in when I got the chance!
I remember a computer shop being at 71, I used to work at Max Speilmanns in Burns Avenue which is just next to were 71 was (I remember buying a datacorder from that computer shop) but there was another computer which was before 71, it was in a shop between 29 and 45. It was quite a narrow shop but quite deep, you’d struggle to get two people down each side, the centre had a shelves and cabinets with software in.
Must say you’re knowledge is off the scale! Much respect!
Thanks for racking your brains! I can picture it but just can’t for the life of me think of the name. For all I know you could be bang on with the name but I know the shop was well before you got to 71!
When I worked in Fads down the bottom, I’d always go in before starting my shift and then when I got a job in Max Spielmann, we used to get paid every Friday so I’d call in and spend my weeks wages in there!
That’s been doing my head in for ages and now that you have said the name, a little Google turned up the following results so I think you have hit the nail on the head!
I used to love that shop, it was packed to the ceiling with everything, I remember when you walked in directly to the left was computers set up, Atari ST and Amiga and other computers and on the right was the counter! I’d spend so much time just looking and taking everything in! I remember on the back wall at the bottom left was a display case which had hardware for the Spectrum, it was that case I bought my multiface 3 out of! Always use to buy 3” blank discs which were kept behind the counter, always remember you’d buy a disc and the lad would tear you off the relevant blank label for the disc size you had bought!
Loved the shop but hated it was full of everything I wanted and couldn’t afford!
How come you remembered the shop? Did you used to visit it?
(Hope the screen grab worked, new to the forums and not sure how it all works……)
