Where were you? Looks like some sort of old computer flea market.

Nice. Would it be worth a trip for someone not super into old computers? Hopefully this time next year I'll only be a couple hours away.

Unfortunately, no. Older computing devices are getting scarce. 20 years ago, you could find all kinds of things from the gold and silver age of home computing, and a fair selection of older stuff from the commercial era. This time, the IMSAI panel and a few pieces of C65 related material was all I saw. Even the stacks of PCs are long since gone.

It's still a fascinating trip if you're into older electronics.

Haven't been in years. I't can't seem right not being at Hara Arena. Does the old guy still bring his goat with the solar panels?

No goats.

The Xenia Expo Center is about 10e100000000 times better than Hara, but I know what you mean. Hara was the place it happened. The food choices at Xenia are far better, however, and the toilets don't explode into the main flea market area.
