Microsoft Store International Plaza – Tampa, FL. Like most of you, I do a lot of shopping online. It is just so damn convenient. But, my Microsoft Book 2 computer, which after a year and a half is still the best notebook I have ever owned, was purchased in the Mall Microsoft Store at International Plaza in Tampa. There is something special and tactile about touching and using a computer in the store before purchase. One of my favorite memories of SWMBO is purchasing her a high end notebook computer after she got sick. Even though in a wheelchair, the joy in her eyes still makes me cry. We were in the local Best Buy, and we bought her the most expensive, highest end, computer they had. Brick and mortar stores will never go away, as long as human beings are doing the shopping.
