[ale] where to find older boxes

[Charles Shapiro]

Alas, Champion has gone the way of all flesh. It was located just off
Old Roswell Road near the prison, a little North and East of 400 and
Mansell Road.  This used to be the primo place for
used/obscure/outdated/broken computer equipment in the Atlanta metro
area, with both fabulous bargains and horrific scams all under one roof.
I remember running groups out there from work during lunch hours just to
look around & buy partz. It was a warehouse full of every computer gizmo
you can imagine, in a wide variety of conditions, ages, and prices, with
a line of cash registers on the front where you could bargain over your
pickings. I understand that the guy who ran it tried again further out
but alas it was never like the old Champion.

BTW don't forget there's a CheapAtlantaHardware page on the TWiki
at http://tomshiro.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/ALE/CheapAtlantaHardware .
