CompUSA was essentially Computer City's successor (at least in that region), with approximately the same level of service. They just had better marketing.

Don't get me wrong, I like Microcenter; it's a lot like Fry's out in Silicon Valley, but smaller. I wish we had one nearer Philadelphia. But it's no replacement for a real electronics store, which is a thing that is rapidly dying out.
