I got there early, and it's a good thing I did. It was FAR too hot and humid, I'm getting up there in years and this type of weather doesn't do me any good. I picked up this nice Sangean radio for $20. It seems I pick up radios more than anything else at VCF; the last one I got was a weather radio.

Enjoy the pics!

And that would be me in the background on the second photo :)
I'm clearly carrying some laptop, can't tell which one. I drove off with probably close to 15 laptops.

Looks like a good meet. Too bad about the weather (and being on the wrong coast :D ).

Lol, this gave me bigfoot video vibes for some reason...legend of the mysterious laptop hoard...err, collector :)

I really think the swap meet needs to be held in late May/early June. The weather was brutal. I bailed around 11 AM. Thank GOODNESS my Ford Taurus has a decent AC!!! Here's a video that Steve (Mac84) shot of last year's event. I make a brief appearance later in the video; I had given him some beige Macs. There's a part where Steve is sitting on the ground, looking through a box of software. Given how hot this past VCF swap meet was, I guarantee Steve would have burned his ass if he tried that same move!!!!! The heat was AWFUL. [overheated-face]

The heat didn't bother me much. If they had held it earlier, I wouldn't have been able to attend due to school obligations regardless, so I'm very glad they hold one of these meets during the summer.

I miss the tailgate/outdoor swap meet days.
