Electrosonic

[James Knott]

Hi Bill

I recall running into you in both computer and amateur radio circles 
back in those days.  Didn't you hang around what became that Altair 
store on Queen west of Simcoe?  As I recall, a woman named "Karen" was 
one of the owners.

BTW, the last time I was in Electrosonic was in 2006.  It looked as 
though they were reducing the display area then.  I couldn't find what I 
was looking for, so I went to Active Electronics, which was then right 
on the corner, beside Electrosonic.
