virtually no advance notice. If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area,

Damn. I made it a point to buy something every time I went in there
just to keep some cash flowing. It was one of the last places you
could get things for reasonable prices.
For those of us that are within road-trip distance, but not within
casual driving distance, can you give us an idea of what sort of
classic computing gear we might find there? I'm willing to take a
trip for specific whole items but not for just parts.
