If Bletchley Park might be able to do a VCF in two or three years
time, maybe we could do something much simpler in the
mean time,
without using the VCF name. Just a get together of anyone in the UK
with an interest in old computers and hopefully a few who would want
to exhibit theirs. Who would be interested and about how much space,
if any would they want?
My thoughts were developing along the same lines, the key question surely is
numbers. How many do we think would attend, and could some core events be
lined up to to ensure a worthwhile experience? I'm thinking here of the
datacentre visits that (I think) were run from VCF Europe last year and the
invovlment of industry alumni that the US events have enjoyed.
It's not like we don't have a few home-grown pioneers - Clive Sinclair and
various Acorn people spring to mind.
