Moved there in 1995 and it was amazing.

Sadly, it got less amazing as the decades marched on and Silicon Valley became Web Valley (now Social Valley?).

Those days: Computer Literacy bookstore, Disk Drive Depot... Fry's went mainstream and then faded, Weirdstuff gone, Haltek, several other surplus stores gone whose names escape me. The Saturday crawl from one surplus store to another across Mountain View and Sunnyvale used to be worth getting up early for.
