Sadly, since Steve became an SK, I think the future of the MIT
flea is in doubt.  I don't think it ran at all last year due to
the pandemic, and I haven't gotten email about anything this year.
The space where it used to be held has been developed, and it's
unclear where it will be in future.

I just checked the web site; they've tentatively scheduled
something for October, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

It is kind of neat.  A guy a few years ago tried to sell me some
used Sun gear: "My basement has enough used SPARC kit." "Oh, then
you could use some more...." "Not if I want to keep living with
the mother of my kids...."
