(does anyone else here remember the old computer club
meetings, back in
those days of the S-100 bus computers, where we'd all pack our cars with
all our homebrew computer hardware, take it to the meeting site, and for
the first couple of hours, brag about our stuff, show it off to everyone
else, then for the rest of the night, we'd all stand in groups and talk?)
Remember it? Heck, for mant of us that was the major regular social event
in our lives! Between the monthly meetings, and the occasional regional
gathering, this was nerdvana!
Still remember the time we got ran out of our regular meeting place just
before everyone started firing up machines because a tank at the gas
station next door started leaking... (fumes everywhere!)
Along that line... I was going thru some old slides yesterday, and found
the stuff that I shot at the first half-dozen or so 'West Coast Computer
Faires'. Jim Warren *really* knew how to throw a party!
I'm just trying to decide how best to scan these things so I can start
adding them to my web pages. They just don't do Computer Fairs like that
anymore... (sigh)
