Swap Meet

I dragged my girlfriend to the swap meet also -no small feat for a Saturday morning, and I was amazed that there were so many people there. It was packed shoulder to shoulder with people, and I actually carried hopes that I might be able to casually chat with some of the vendors about which system they would recommend to a beginner but that was a dream. I was also hoping that there would be more vintage computer stuff but aside from a few Kaypro's, and a box of Commodore64 motherboards, there wasn't much old computer stuff. One nice man did give me a cool little 8" DATASAAB video monitor for free, and my girlfriend bought a cassette recorder but that was the extent of our purchases. I walked around looking at all of the old ham radios, and wished that I knew more about them. I think that if I could have found the right person to talk to, I would have bought a radio of some kind, even if I don't know how to use them yet. Some of these old radios looked like art pieces to me, in a mad scientist sort of way. We stayed at the meet for about an hour or so, and decided that we had had enough of the wall to wall people. I had fun but I doubt that I'll go again, unless I learn more about ham radio stuff. I'll hold out for a vintage computer fest instead.
