      I'm a enthusiast of homebrewing computer at begginer level living
in Japan and now planning for visiting Los Angels from 6/28 to 7/1. What
I want to do there is to see the Electronics junk market place at LA and 
to talk with some hardware enthusiast. But I don't know where is such a
market. Since many famous persons and Chip makers presented in such a 
book like Steven Levi's 'Hackers' worked at California, I'm looking 
forward to find somewhat interesting thing there.
      I'm now interested in high speed numerical calculation on a home-
brew computer. The use of RISC or other fast chip will make it possible
but there are some problems. 1. High speed RISC chips are hard to get at
in civil junk market at least inside Japan. Personal use of RISC chip is
considerably suppressed. 2. Amateur hardware enthusiasts can't make 4 layer
PCB. That is fatal to handle the high frequency circuit of RISC. To strive
with such a noise with the techniques of amateurs, pretty amounts of 
shield and efforts should be required I think. I have also some interests
in Radio Packet Network.
      In a word I want to have some connection with someone enthusiastic
about electronics in LA. If there are any one who have such a kindness,
please e-mail to me with your phone number because I can't access USENET in LA.
      I'm studying Quantum chemistry in Kyoto Univ. and wrote  a related 
asking on Sci.chem. If you have some experience with Quantum chem. and live
near by LA, please see that article too.
thank you.
