Re: [time-nuts] Time Nut Pickens at the MIT Flea ?
I was there as well, but did not see much of interest. That might be because Paul Swed scooped up the good stuff before I could finish the first pass :) Nice find Paul, hope they settle down for you. Would love to see a post-flea get together and put some faces with names, but I don't know of any places nearby.

Paul, So you were there and I missed you then. It was hard to find anything. Looking in all the corners. Most of its now the monthly repeat stuff that doesn't seem to move. John, You are right it would be a TM5000 3 bay. The color is tek blue, not the brown of the 5000 series. Funny I don't care about color. Now I can plug the AA5010 into a home.

There are cafe/pizza options in the Strattion Student Center, although seating is somewhat limited. But there are other places in the same building.

Re: [time-nuts] Time Nut Pickens at the MIT Flea ?
It is surprizingly difficult to find other shoppers at the Flea.

A gentle reminder to keep postings to time-nuts as technical as possible, and on-topic. The occasional mention of upcoming local events or conferences is welcome (it's a great way to build community), but I suggest subsequent details, follow-up, meeting arrangements, and where to get pizza should be done by private email.

Re: [time-nuts] Time Nut Pickens at the MIT Flea ?
I grabbed a real nice Leitech distribution amplifier - but I took it home and it was empty! I walked back and returned it for a refund, but the seller said he had a whole stack in his office.
