I remember going to the Egghead store in Durham.


I got my Mac version of Prince of Persia there if I'm not mistaken. That was 1993? maybe 94?

This is a common, and understandable misconception....Newegg and egghead have zero relation to each other. when egghead went belly up, what was left was purchased by Amazon.

I remember Computer Shopper getting thinner and thinner with each catalog as the internet became more and more popular.
