I went to the Melbourne hamfest and there was almost no computer stuff there. No

table!

Well, the September Flea is generally one of the largest, as all the
freshman have just arrived for the
term. But the turn-out was rather light in my opinion, due to the
weather reports.
I think the first two had the best turnout, but I missed a couple in
the middle.
I arrived rather late, so I don't know what
vintage items I may have
missed.
I was there at 9 and didn't see anything worth mentioning. It seems
like a lot of the more interesting sellers start out the summer with a
few vintagy items amid a mountain of PC/Sun/Apple and, as the summer
goes on, sell them and are left with mostly PC stuff. Also a lot of
the smaller guys seem to drop out over the course of the summer.
