Great day at Tek

Does this mean they have stuff there worth buying? The last time I was in there it was more of a furniture store than anything. Sometimes I think I grew up in that store, as my Dad worked at Tek and it seemed like every Saturday morning we'd go. That was back when it was employee's only, and it was in Beaverton where Dania is now (though I also remember it being on the other side of 217). My best find was a hand-held 80-column card punch back in the late-70's or early 80's. I still have it in the original box. I did buy an old PDP-11 rack (empty) there back around '99.
