Maybe I'm wierd, but I always take visitors to see Fry's
Electronics.  It's like being at the epicenter of Silicon
Valley.  There are three branches in Sunnyvale, Milpitas,
and Palo Alto.  They are enormous stores that sell almost
everything electronic: PCs & Macs, video, audio, test
equipment, wire, connectors, ICs, books, software, soldering
supplies, calculators, phones, you name it.  The really
curious thing is that these stores are an outgrowth of
the Fry's grocery chain, so they carry soft drinks, candy,
chips, toothpaste, non-technical magazines, etc.  A one-stop
shopping center for the real nerd.
