There just isn't the same urban density out in the western states
with the exception of the Pacific coastal megalopoli. The density in
the mid Atlantic and Great Lakes regions are significantly higher for
vintage computing equipment than the intermountain West in my
experience. In article <43A99CB1.8020201 at

"midwest". :) Patrick Finnegan wrote:

No flea markets or hamfests in my area, sadly.
Same here. It seems that the best opportunities for vintage
computing stuff via flea markets and hamfests are limited to
places like the mid atlantic and the bay area.
