Well lemme see...
It was my first attendance and I just loved the talks and meeting some of
the people I've been talking for over 4 years on this list. I missed some of
you but I had a limited time budget and had to get out at 5pm.Cold not make
it on sunday.
I wished we had a "hello my name is" meeting for the classiccmp people just
so that we can put a face on the names.
I was a little bit disappointed with the prices on some of the stuff in the
flea market and one seller's unwillingness to bargain for price. I am also
kinda mad at the guy who got the HP-71 from under my nose (I'm the one who
asked for it after all) I guess I'm too used to Midwestern prices and
Hamfest bargaining.
I still bagged a few interesting pieces though: most notably a ti 99/4A
thermal solid state printer that attaches to the side of the computer like
the speech synth or the memory expansion. An Apricot F10 fairly complete. A
very complete Atari Portfolio (I'm going to load VTLISP and use it for my AI
class). A Timex Sinclair 1500 in OK shape. A few miscs.
All in all it was a positive experience. I just wised I could have spent
more time getting to know some of you. Maybe next time.

it? I didn't get
