Yeah, I'd kind of like to hear about it too! Is it the same 1st Saturday sale (I'm sure it's different now), that I remember from loooong ago? I'm talking about early 80's... it was a computer swap meet under some big highway overpass. I lived in Garland at the time, and we'd go there to peruse the used computers, drives (not hard), modems, etc. It was almost like a social event for the pre-internet BBS subculture.

I found it -

Saturday Sale - 1st Saturday & 3rd Saturday Computer Shows

The site has maps/directions, and the history. It is the same one I remember from 25 years ago.
