@textfiles Huh, didn't know they were in Milpitas before Sunnyvale. Great place to get lost in.

@textfiles miss that place, and Halted Specialties

@textfiles oh no, didn’t know that weird stuff shut down. I have a 1 of a kind AMD-corporate computer on rollerblade wheels I’ve been skating around from there

@textfiles one of the all time greats! 😢

@textfiles F

@textfiles the Weird Stuff Sunnyvale location was bulldozed a few years back to make way for... https://sfyimby.com/category/100-caribbean-drive the Google Ziggurat (s) !

@textfiles Down south in LA we had (and apparently still have) Apex Electronics.

@textfiles

@textfiles The loss of Weird Stuff still hurts, and I regularly regret not buying up half the place while I still had the opportunity.

Fuck Google for forcibly evicting them.

@textfiles

Made a point of going there on my first adult, solo trip to the Bay Area in 1995.

@textfiles I'd pay $129 for a VT100. To use even older analogies "The DC3/workhorse of terminals". The tactile response of those keyboards was satisfying. No question if you hit a key or not.
