Yes. "business centers", not home (except small home-based businesses).
Out of my own ignorance, did Xerox have models geared towards the home? Or was
this a store front for business/Altos types?

To a degree. What shows up there is heavily sorted by the seller in what he
thinks he can get money for.
It's not like a junk store where a whole r

I really miss the Gateway Electronics location in Denver, closed 15 years
Backwater == St. Louis, BTW, a place I visit pretty often.
Still my all time favorite, Stu's Gateway Electronics still going.
Recently touched base with them
when I found a giveaway. My cousin caught hell when he took me to one
of their first locations
down on Delmar. You don't take a 10 or

any Xerox stores here. I knew a lot of the people who owned
computer stores here around that time. I was the president
and sort-of founder of our local computer club, so I knew
most of the people involved with retail computer stuff from
about 1976 to at least 1985.

Even the "Tandy Radio Shack Computer Center" stores only numbered 500.

Many dozens, certainly. Probably less than 100. Not "thousands".

I have only the faintest memory of such a thing, I didn't

Xerox until 1985, and I don't recall the stores
