any large grayscale crts taking up space?
by skogkatt007＠yahoo.com 04 Jan '22

04 Jan '22

For the most part it was either for (UNIX) workstations or Macs. There had to be 1 or 2 for pcs, but that's just a guess. Anyway I want one. I'll worry about the details. I had a well used 19" Mac unit Yeats ago, and despite the wear in the phosphors, it was still sharp as a tack.

If it was outdoors, then I would say 100 vendors. We had about 20 for the first one in October 2020, about 60 in April 2021, so it tripled. > > Was there 75 (or more) last April? I didn't count.

I would expect more this time as this will be our third swap meet and we have established ourselves as a substantial swap meet in terms of both vendors and buyers. Also there are lot of both buyers and sellers itching to buy and sell their items.
