Confirmed, I was visiting Algonquin college last wednesday.
Beauiful city all I can describe simply aside from that heat and
humidity. So store them in ventilated, dry shed during summer off
the cement. During Winter, keep them dry and minimumize the temp
swings.

Ditto here Kingston as well but very drab aside from that
Tall Ships going on now and bunch of historic buildings. But
Kingston is poor city to consider making your home with a job. The
committe there is screwed so there were very little
major developments.

If I ever live in Ottawa for the Algonquin as a student, where is the
best spots for old, cheap computer stuff especially Macs? Also what
about electronics component stores to visit for parts?

Also, I'm told that ottawa city has very few vacant rooming for rent
and I also want to know where the "bad areas" is so I know where to
avoid. The primary transportation is bus.

Cheers,

Wizard
