Waiting for the bubble to pop purely for
unixsurplus.com to get interesting hardware again, much like others are waiting to buy another cheap areon chair

@michael nice! Yeah unixsurplus seems to be part of the bay area legends, was there for the first crash, and will probably be there for the second I was having with lunch with a friend who lived in the bay area and he mentioned the old days of driving to UnixSurplus to pick up some more Sun gear from who's prior owners was some doomed 2000's bubble company My biggest sadness was learning that they no longer have a physical store, because I could have easily lost all of my money by going into one
