Alan Aerts' plush office, in the corner of his Monte Sereno home, is filled with curiosities. There is the collection of gold coins from the days of Jesus, the ornate table from Windsor Castle, drawings of 12-foot-high Christmas wreaths in the works for Aerts' holiday lawn display next winter. And stuck along the wall of a security closet nearby is Wilt Chamberlin's signed jersey, lined up with those of a dozen other NBA greats. This is the world of Aerts, the vending king of Silicon Valley. A former bread delivery man and grocery store clerk, Aerts has built a fortune by placing soda machines and candy bar dispensers in virtually every commercial area in the South Bay.
