[cctalk] Re: VCFMW20 recap of highlights

VCFMW in Chicago was this past weekend! Flew up with 2 bags, came back with 4 ! Funny thing is, my wife said she was surprised I didn't come back with anything extra - well, I shipped those extra 2 bags and they haven't shown up yet. Gives me one day to come up with a cover story! :) There is so much going on at the Chicago VCF - I don't think any individual can cover the whole thing. Instead of a blog, this time I'm trying a "video photo album" to cover some of the highlights that I was able to see. Search Xiphod's Photo Album of Vintage Computer Fest (no commentary) - VCF Chicago 2025 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld1CXUTusDI or https://rumble.com/v6z4aia-xiphods-photo-album-of-vintage-computer-fest-no-… Mainly my goal was to pick up a POLY-88 that folks have been helping to restore off-and-on over the past 18 months. They got it going, so that was one of the shipments back. The other was an Apple TAM at too good a price to pass up. (and yes, wife already knows they are coming) If it's any indicator: come Sunday afternoon, merchants were fairly eager to sell at any offer (some announcing that anything unsold would go straight to scrap - maybe that's a ploy, but there were some under $10 bargains to be had, a kind of "everything must go" vibe). - Steve
