[FARC] 7th St Radio Shack saves the day again

[Bob Moroney]

Another good local PC resource is The PC/MD in the Green Valley strip 
mall on Rt. 80.  They're just East of the re-opened drag strip.  They 
carry a lot of the less-commonly-found parts and accessories, at 
reasonable prices, and their store hours seem to be pretty 
customer-friendly (i.e., they stay open late).  And if they don't have 
it, they'll get it in short order.  (They may go down to TCP in Gburg to 
do so, but at least they save you the drive...)

A place also recently opened on Main St. in Mt. Airy, called Mr. Geek's 
PC Store.  They have a few mainstream accessories that folks might need 
(wireless routers, LAN cables, etc.), but they've got a ways to go to 
catch up to the grab bag of stuff at The PC/MD.
