Vacation Finds

From: Ethan Dicks <erd(a)infinet.com> Subject: Re: Vacation Finds... That was in Modesto, CA, (My vacation this time is closer to home). I think the proboability of those units being there are good (since most of the local 'thrifters' snag the IBM, Mac, and Amiga machines that show up). I would have gotten them myself but those PETs take up alot of shelf-space (which is limited for me cause I have several PETs already), and I was pretending to be strong (of course if it were an original PET, an 8x50 dual drive or a B-128 it would have been bought. :) That chain of thrift stores (they call themselves Thrift Center Thrift Stores) are interesting, on Wednesdays and Saturdays they have 1/2 price days and with their sometimes low prices you can pick up some really inexpensive hardware, they also strangely have been a good source for Atari 800s. Yesterday on our travels, we took off to Sacramento (California's state capitol) and discovered in our wanderings SEVERAL THRIFT STORES (Many within a square mile on just one street.) But given the time we didn't stop, *sigh*, but we now know where to look next time. We did stop at a warehouse sized used book store (on Power Inn Road) most of the stuff is discontinued school texts, some assorted stuff... Not much computer book pickings there unless you have an IBM, Apple II, or a Mac (finding quality older computer books almost the most challenging task only after finding software.) Been wandering the valley for most of this last week and plan to rest out at least today and possibly tomorrow before work on Monday.
