Well, the store was still open. Hadn't stop in a while.( the
Bloomington, Mn location just down the hwy from the Mall of America)
Things were quite a bit thinner in the keyboard dept as far a
inventory and selection. Really looked like they'd been having
supplier problems or something. btw, they had lots of scattered
closeouts thru out the store, one of which was the store's CX3
demo. I was playing it and salesman came up to me and mentioned that
all marked closeouts were getting another 15% markdown today only.
Well, it was tagged at $1,349, so that would have reduced it to
$1,147. Tempting deal, however I'm trying out the Nord red wonder
right now. So I said thanks but no thanks. Still anybody reading this
from Twin Cities metro area might want to scramble on over.
Looked like a well-played store board but no major dings or anything.
Maybe that same deal would still be available.

btw, that one CX3 was the only clone in the whole dang dept.
