That sounds very much like an individual seeking out
autographs in person from celebrities. I don't sense
anything particularly educational about that type of
experience with computers.
Wow, I guess I'm just way to shallow for this list. I
apologize for wanting to engage in uneducational
activities. Alert to Sellam: No exhibit floor at next
year's VCF, it merely appeals to our basest instincts.
Wayne, how dare you come to the VCF year after year and win awards for
your extremely well done exhibit harboring this sort of attitude about
collecting. You should be ashamed of yourself.
