[ale] Computer Convention in Atlanta Jan 17 - 19

[Watson F. McKeel]

Went last year and bought a 250W power supply for about $11 and a PC Pocket Referrence Manual for $6. Both have served me well since then. For those who don't know about that referrence book, it's invaluable if you spend a lot of time around PC hardware. I think the GA Tech Engineer's book store sells it.

I've been to a couple of these.  You can find some good deals, but you 

really need to know what you're looking for/at.  Some of the folks there 

will screw you if you don't.


I do recommend the show overall though.  Even if you pay the $8 to get 

in and don't buy anything, it's fun to check out the goods.
