Some day the San Francisco Bay Area will stop being the kind of place you can still buy off the shelf S-100 kits, and that'll be a very sad day.

@foone Here's the flipside, though, when thinking about upcoming potential end-of-an-era moments:you're living in that moment right now, and you could think about what certain people in the future might give, to be able to live in such a moment.

@foone Love that place. <3 We need more electronics stores that feel like comic book shops.

@fooneWow that's great! I wish modern, regular, mainstream computers could still be based on that type of bus, where the CPU is just another card. It would make them so much easier to build and maintain.

@fooneI wish I had something like this nearby. The closest thing to it is the Radioshack the next town over.

@foone AFAIK that is the last electronics surplus store in the (south) bay area. Halted/Haltek, gone (building demolished for townhomes). Weird Stuff Warehouse, gone (warehouse demolished for Google office buildings). What else have I forgotten to list? Are there any other stores left that I can still go to?

@foone Urban Ore is something special!Steve of Mars Records in Piedmont/Oakland tipped me off to them having Japanese vinyl.I spent some hours sifting through and I am guessing maybe sorted out 400+ 45s.But, I didn't buy any due to budget. Hopefully I will be able to rectify that eventually and that my efforts at organizing their piles is still kind of in tact? I dunno.@Irishmasms
