Hello all - I'm heading out tomorrow on a work trip to San Jose, CA
and may have about a day for some personal adventuring. Top of my
list is the CHM, of course, having never been there. What other
landmarks, stores, shops, signs or holes in the ground are worth
seeing out that way?
I will be flying, so if I pick up anything interesting I'll be paying
to ship it back :)

Go to Weirdstuff Warehouse, in Sunnyvale. And of course there's the
Digibarn (appointment required) and the Intel Museum.

If you end up going to Weirdstuff, let me know and you can visit my shop
(although it's a mess right now). It's about 3/4 of a mile away.
Lots-o-big DEC machines. :-)

I still have a Weirdstuff poster/calendar up in my office from my 1994 visit.

There's a chance I could end up visiting LBNL later this summer - I'll
have to remember to mention when I'm going.

Hi
I know I'm a little late but it is worth stopping by at HSC and if you
need parts and such also Anchor Electronics. Not a lot of classic stuff
but I do recall that Anchor had a couple of old S-100 board kits for
things like RAM boards.

Hey, great, thanks for the tips. I won't have free time until
Saturday (or Friday night maybe) but I'll check it out.

Weird Stuff Warehouse should be on your list as well.

They aren't quite as cool as they once were, but there's still lots of fun
to be had.

Hello all.
Been a long time lurker on cctalk, now visiting US for the first time,
I?ll be staying in Las Vegas and Minneapolis for a few days with some
unsheduled time.
The lights on Las Vegas Blvd. may look OK, but I?m more interested in the
other kind of Blinkenlights :-) Are there any places I should seek out
related to classic computing or electronics in general?
Best regards.
