Anyone know of anything of interest in the Dallas, Texas are related to
vintage/classic computer stuff? I'll be there over the week of July 4th.
But I'm STILL trying to find away

Anyway, any help with info about Big D and classic computers

There is a surplus consignment store in Allen, a suburb, that has a lot
of pc oriented stuff. The name of the store is Software Etc. and it's
on the corner of Greenville and Bethany. The sometimes get big iron
and workstation stuff. They had some SGI Indy and Sun stuff a couple of
weeks ago.

I posted about the SGI stuff here last week. They've still got two
of the Indys as of Thursday night. I didn't mention them as they
rarely have anything other than PC or Mac stuff.

were gone...
Hey I picked up a pair of Apple II 5 1/4" floppy disk drives, with the black
face and Apple logo for a $1 each at Software Etc. That was my big find other
than an HP-12C at a garage sale $1. Those Planolians LOVE their garage sales
and my extended family is no exception. The calculator works like a charm.

New subject: SGI Indy2
Wht is one worth? (roughly)
Depends if it is all there, including the OS, and the media for the OS.
Still not a whole lot. Indy's are pretty slow. It's the Indigo2's that
still have a surprising amount of value, but even they don't go for a whole
lot (just more than I'm willing to pay for something that slow).
BTW, is that an Indy2, or an Indigo2 you have? I didn't think there was an
Indy2.

I actually found Software Etc.!! It was only a few miles from where
I was staying. I have family in Plano, and my bro-in-law asked me
what a good laptop for him would be. We went to Software Etc.
Then another bro-in-law was putting together a system for his son.
We ended up back at Software Etc. for a second time.
Being a used book store to boot also made that place my kind of
store in a doubly sort of way.
