Note that the Swap Meet has been moved to Sunday the 27th due to the forecast for heavy rain on the 26th. The Repair Workshop remains both days, but will be all-day on the 26th and start after the conclusion of the Swap Meet on the 27th.

swap meet was fun. my friend Chris and I drove down the night before and stayed at a hotel in the area
got to see old friends, meet some new ones, rehome a bunch of stuff, and get some new stuff, and in general had a fun trip

Pickups I got were
A couple of AT&T PC 6300 computers, plus a monitor, keyboard, and software/manuals - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivetti_M24
the Allen-Bradley industrial PC from Action retros video

Then on the way home I stopped by Mac84s house for some shenanegans in his basement, and I got a rackmount 44mb syquest drive that will make its way into my retro rack(thanks to steve/mac84 and colin/this does not compute for arranging the pickup and shipping of it!)

Looking forward to the june swapmeet at infoage!
