I remember them.  There were several electronic supply and computer 
stores along that stretch of Queen.  There was one at the corner of 
Spadina that used to be near Active Surplus, but I don't recall it's 
name, Active Surplus of course, Arkon, before they went all Apple. I 
even remember when Arkon was east of Yonge.  There were more stores 
along College back then.  Also, going back many years ago, there were 
several stores on Yonge St, between College & Wellesley, including 
Electrosonic.  Back in the '80s, I bought a bare S-100 bus prototyping 
board from Active Surplus, along with a bunch of parts and designed and 
built an 8 port serial card for my IMSAI 8080.  I also bought a 300 baud 
manual modem from one of those stores on Queen.  Computers were more fun 
back then.  :-)


BTW, anyone here remember TRACE (Toronto Region Association of Computer 
Enthusiasts)?
