I loved that place when I lived in Silicon Valley back in the late '80s and early '90s.<p>They were on Kern Ave just west of the Lawrence Expressway. Nearby on the other side of the street (where Sports Basement is now) was Fry's flagship store. Across Lawrence from the Fry's, there was the original store for Computer Literacy Bookshops, and right near that was a Togo's.<p>A perfect geek Saturday afternoon for me was to go hit Weird Stuff and Fry's, then Computer Literacy to check for new books and pickup the latest tech magazines, then read those magazines while enjoying either a cold #2 or a hot #7 from Togo's.
"it's an era when RAID controllers were the size of a modern day sound card"<p>That doesn't make much sense to me. For those that don't just use what's on the motherboard, even PCI cards are pretty small. RAID controllers that I remember, OTOH, were pretty beefy.<p>Regardless, cool looking place. I'm glad they're able to make a go of it.
