I'll always lament not grabbing a Xerox Alto for $50 from a SV thrift store at 15. I literally cried as we drove off. My dad turned around and it was already gone when we got back.
I'll bring it to VCF someday.
I appreciate that he did turn around and go back at least.
He did help me bring home a thrift store Lisa a year or two later and other finds, so that was some redemption.
He was great, actually. He came with me up the coast again when I started at Cal.
