I expect I could get a great deal of vicarious pleasure from that. Perhaps we should have an occult mag crawl and have a £5 kitty/familiar.You haven't seen me on an occult mag crawl with £20 to burn.

I'll pass on the meal - rather spend it on reading matter.Next u75 meet-up. Followed by a slap-up at Malabar Junction.
The electrical stores were/are all owned by the same bloke. No real competition there at all.It used to be the electronics capital of London and now there's loads of empty shops and bland High St stores taking their place.

Why grim? Please elucidate?Those computer fairs are still going. They were mighty grim affairs.
I've never been pestered by a scientologist, what's wrong with me?Never been a massive fan of TCR. Over priced electrical shops, seedy looking sex shops iirc and the scien fucking tologists.

That some customers are too stupid to be allowed to dress themselves in the morning, let alone own a computer ? WTF didn't he look at the display model ?this is one of the reasons why it's dying: https://www.facebook.com/curryspcworld/posts/470998072920101?comment_id=5634232¬if_t=like

Loads of keyboards have slightly different layouts. Thinkpads, for example.I mean its location should be standard. Why should people be expected to learn to type all over again?

I said:Those shift keys are pretty rank, but lappie manufacturers seem to have their own ideas on how to cram a keyboard into limited space and they have come up with some crackpot layouts over the years.
there's a couple of nice occult bookshops near tottenham court road, atlantis book on museum street, treadwell's on store street, watkin's just near trafalgar square... why buy electronics when you can learn to conjure them up?
They had/have proper buyers with specialist knowledge of their area. These days it's all there on tech blogs or even tv but in the days when getting a full round up of new kit meant buying a handful of specialist mags, TCR was (and to some extent still is) the best place to go looking. Particularly for things that are new enough, or niche enough, that they're not widely reviewed.What I used to love was that they'd have loads of great stuff you wouldn't see in argos. Spy gear and imported stereos. Same goes for the computer fair. Now that's all available on ebay direct from China there seems little point.
