  • Not much a ghetto..computers or otherwise..Three computer shops in total, who all looked at me as if I had come form another planet when I asked what they had for second hand laptops which would burn DVD's Who ever named this area must have left for the promised land a long time ago because it isn't an accurate name for the place at all. Such BS. I went to Eglinton to a place called "Laptop Center" and guess what the sold used laptops unlike the Ghetto....there are no computers "downnnnnnn in the ghettooooooooooo" opps... Elvis sarcasm must go now....channeling Elvis...................
  • The gosee.ca link has gone dead, and the only other link I'm seeing has a static map rather than the terrific interactive map on the gosee site - quite a shame. As for charlie1, he didn't look very hard I guess; the site lists 25 stores near that intersection, and several of these do sell used laptops. I bought one there some years ago. (Today it makes little sense to buy a used laptop with the way prices have come down while battery life is up Up UP! My new Asus eeePC 1000 gets an honest 8 hours on a full charge - woot!)
