Would like to hear it was this year,
vintage-computer-wise....
I gave a report after my Friday run (including dinner with the
classiccmp gang afterwards).
In short, cool, not too much sun, no real rain, a few 1980s micros, an
AIM-65 w/two 8" drives for $500, an Altair 8800b w/2 8" drives for
$1000, some classic goodies in Dan Cohoe's truck to act as
bait/geek-flypaper... personally, I picked up a few things on my
shopping list, but didn't see people selling many ICs in tubes
(something I went looking for). Fewer goodies of interest to me than
last time (2003). Virtually no DEC stuff, and very little Sun stuff
compared to previous years.
