    Chicago software seller.

    Hi all

    My son will be visiting Chicago on business next week and I thought I'd try to save a little bit of money, by asking him to get me a copy of Vista while he's there.

    I've looked on the net for someone who sells software in the city but I've struggled a bit, so i'd appreciate it if anyone with local knowledge could point me towards the best place.

    Great places for him to visit would also be nice.

    Thanks

    Backup Boogaloo, you know it makes sense to do.

    Thanks bistro, he has left now but I'll pass it on if he gets in touch. Hopefully he will get time to do some research himself while he's out there.

    Save even more by not getting Vista at all. It's more bloated than US gov. and twice as slow.
    There is nothing to fear, but life itself.
