DR Micro Computers Cincinnati

Just another reminder that I will be on vacation in Germany May 1-12 and the store will be closed. But you don't have to wait until May 13 to get that upgrade or refurbished system, as always I turn things around in 1-2 days. Stop in soon!

I'll be dealing BlackJack ♥️♠️♦️♣️ tonight and Saturday at the IHM Festival on Beechmont starting 6pm. Come say "hi". (If it rains tomorrow, I'm under a tent so grab a spot early).

Naked Karate Girls at 7pm !! Great food and local brews!

Remember my son Vince? Worked at DR Micro until he graduated from McNicholas about 8 years ago? Well he works in CyberSecurity now. He and his wife just bought a house near Oberlin College in Cleveland and I'm gonna go see it this WED THU March 26-27 so DR Micro will be CLOSED.

Please refrain from breaking anything until Friday or Saturday. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation 🙂

Well, darn....can't do much computer service🤨😑 without electricity.
Is this what camping feels like? 🤔

My lot got plowed! Thanks to Anderson Police for blocking the lane while my guy safely plowed that 2-foot wall of slush and ice the snow plows created in front of my store.
(Can't be avoided during a Snowpocalypse I suppose...)

So back to normal DROP-OFF/PICKUP hours of 11-2 MON-FRI but this Saturday 1/11 I will be CLOSED.

Game on!

Beautiful sunrise here at the new Hoth location of DR Micro Computers. 🥶❄️

[That's a Star Wars reference, folks...]

Exactly 30 years ago, on August 1, 1994, I opened my first retail computer store. I was 26. It was located in Cheviot where I grew up, at a historic location that used to be a Buddy Roger's Music. I remember vividly being up on scaffolding, cleaning the beautiful high tin ceilings. I never dreamed that location would oneday be mine. I remember watching the O.J. trial almost every day at work.

The next year I spun-off a 2nd location, on Beechmont in the old Sight N Sound building. This was also surreal as I worked for them in college! Eventually there was a Florence location, and one downtown across from Tower Place Mall in the historic Richter & Phillips spot (talk about high ceilings!). In 2001, I opened DR Micro Computers Cincinnati in the current 8016 Beechmont location and remember watching 9/11 coverage here.

That was before Internet sales or even Best Buy. PCs back then cost over $1200. Monthly revenue was insane (but so were expenses), and my life before I was even 30 was somewhat "Wolf of Wall Street" trying to handle so much cash flow.

I've been in business through EVERY version of Windows (since DOS). I was in business before Internet was needed at a business, let alone at home.

For 15 years, I did a live call-in radio show called "Geek Talk." There were billboards, radio and TV spots, and a crappy public access TV show I did. The industry I am in (retail "brick and mortar" computer sales and service was first blossoming, growing, exploding and is now fading during these 30 years.

But I'm still here, and 24+ years at my same location on Beechmont. I humbly and sincerely thank everyone, past and current customers and employees, for letting me be my own boss since 23.

Thanks for 30 years of loyalty and support,

Doug Neiheisel
