TCF (NJ annual Computer flea)
http://www.tcf-nj.org
report
This years 'Trenton' Computer festival featured:
One guy with a $5 PPC Mac table.
Two Apple II's (1: good condition, 2: good extras), a IIgs.
An Atari 800 w/ FDD.
Tons of Suns again.
This year in the Sparcstation IPX formfactor.
Laptop drives at 50? /gig
One table each of Tek and HP test equipment,
mid-level value.
DEC: All gone!
Some Compaq badge era things.
Some reminiscent people talking about it. **
Still worth the trip, for good prices and volumes, but a
little dull. I left in time to get a IIc complete at the
recycle center for free.
One guy was trying to sell NT 4.0 for $119... I didn't ask.
Atypical.
** I take this as a clue that selling same there
would be interesting.

Sounds nice, too bad its not closer to here. I remember a decade ago driving
down to a huge hamfest/computer show in Dayton Ohio, some nice deals there.
