wrote: Many years ago, I used to make the pilgrimage to the Sunnyvale Fry's, Ham Radio Outlet, various nearby surplus stores, and then Computer Literacy Bookstore. After spending far too much money on books, I started to avoid the bookstore. They solved the problem for me by moving locations and finally closing in 2001. WTF? That was one of my favorite stores to hang out and spend $$$ when I lived down there. What happened? They always seemed to be thriving and had books on other subjects. Fry's simply never had the books to compete. I found out the hard way. I prepared an expedition to Computer Literacy and discovered they were closed. I was seriously bummed as Stacy's in SF was too far away to drive. I don't know exactly why they failed, but I think online shopping for books might have killed them off. This may help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Literacy_Bookstore Is there anything in the Sacramento area or even the Silicon Valley area anymore? Dunno. I've been doing most of my book shopping via Alibris and Amazon. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 # http://802.11junk.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS |
