I am staying at The Residence Inn in Mountain View. (The official hotel of
The Vintage Computer Festival .)
I have not been to the San Jose area in about 5 years. What is interesting
there? (Geek stuff).

New or used geek-stuff?
Fry's (ducking)
Weird Stuff
Halted
Action Computer
Mike Quinn Electronics (far away in oakland)
Apple store in Valley Fair
It's not geek-stuff - but there is a new Ikea in east Palo Alto...
unmmm errrrr that place on the side road next to 101 (but I think they
are snooty)
[hows that for someone who moved to Blue Springs MO, Eureka CA, and now
lives in
Tulare CA.. But I visit about every other month from Tulare]
11:41 a.m.
The most interesting geek destination is the VCF location itself - the
Computer History Museum.
There is also Weird Stuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale although most of their
stuff is PC nowadays.
The Tech in downtown San Jose is fun, but really geared for a younger
crowd. I still enjoy it though.
I'm sure some other folks will pipe in with other destinations. . .
I'll see you at the VCF!

I'm arriving Friday afternoon, also staying at the Residence Inn... will head
right over to the museum to help Sellam & Co. with setting stuff up... everyone
else should do the same. :)
