Subject: Apple 1 at Fry's!
For those in Silicon Valley who haven't been to the new Fry's in
Sunnyvale: go check out CHAC's Apple 1 on display. Unlike the gaudy Mayan
and Aztec themes of some other recent Fry's, this one has sort of an art
deco theme with large posters of HP35s, Xerox Altos, and other machines
worthy of worship.

That Apple-1 is still there, though I can't say I noticed the posters the
last time I visited there (a week or so ago).
Doug is still around (I think he may even still be lurking) but the
collecting bug has been mostly squashed for him.
