Hey Gary,
I am in the area now...
Can't go out looking soon, till I find a job.

ooh! had a Micro Center near my home in San Jose...
We'll be
in Kansas City over a weekend in the near future. Are there
any
good surplus stores, museums, geek toy stores, etc, that we should be
sure
to visit? Suggestions appreciated!
Only one place left for serious scrounging and that's Surplus Exchange,
1100 Hickory, down in the West Bottoms.
There's Computer Garage, but he doesn't have much old stuff. Computer
Swap Shop on Johnson Drive in Mission has a bit more, but he's been
cleaning out the non-moving merchandise.
If you like new (and can handle the pricetag) Micro Center on 90th and
Metcalf in Overland Park KS is nice to wander through. Very good
selection of computer books, some are even on sale.
Beyond Bytes on 40 Highway near MO 291/I-670 has a very small
selection,
not really worth going to unless you're looking for something to buy
that
day.
I have seen this place but not gone in yet.
His Will Computer Surplus on 23rd in Independence has a lot of wall
warts,
if you need one. A smattering of other things, and a nice selection
of PC
cases.
T-t-t-t-that's all f-f-f-f-folks,
