just the fact that that warehouse is a real place

@onf dang, that's cool! I wish I could go there myself, I wonder if they have some Apple Newton stuff and I've seen some lovely Sony PVMs in the video

@noiob I think he actually bought a Macintosh or something there, so maybe!

@onf yeah according to the video they have a bunch of Apple stuff, and I'm just assuming that you can find any rare hardware there if you dig deep enough :D

@noiob Here's a few tweets of his I dug up on the computer. He and everyone else in the Texas retro computing community were being really vague on the store because they didn't want it to blow up... the way it did. twitter.com/MrEightThreeOne/st twitter.com/MrEightThreeOne/st

@onf what a beautiful 7600. I grew up using a 5200 all-in-one

@noiob He also got some CRT monitor that's apparently a fire hazard, but it works with the weird resolution Macs use!

@onf heh, sweet! I think I've only ever seen either all-in-ones or Macs that are new enough to use VGA

@noiob He used an adapter, but somehow it worked anyway.

@onf analog video is dark magic sometimes
