I started for Wes at EBX in about 2000 as christmas help lol

[@Nerdthusiast]

Man I forgot some of the stores were called EBX! What was the difference? I don't recall.

[@robert557]

@@Nerdthusiast before i started they focused more on pc i think but by the time i joined they were just a smaller store and had same stuff as bigger ones

[@wesleystewart2709]

​@Nerdthusiast they focused more on kid software, and didn't carry any PC hardware. But everything else was the same.
