Vintage Computer Festival/Midwest 4 - Just one week away

Just a reminder that next weekend is my 4th annual Vintage Computer Festival/Midwest, held at Purdue University's Stewart Center. The event has speakers from 11am until 1pm each day, and the exhibits are open from 1pm until 5pm. The ticket price is $5 per day, or free if you're 17 or under, or have a valid Purdue student ID. The event is a celebration of the history of computing, and the machine and people that got us to where we are today. There will be lots of neat technology, and this year we have a door prize of an IBM PCjr from 1983! The PCjr was IBM's first attempt at an inexpensive home computer. I've got several exhibitors signed up, but still have room for more; if you want to show up to show off your collection, or have a few things to sell off at the consignment sale, sign up to be an exhibitor at http://vintage.org/2008/midwest/, or send me an email at this address. Exhibitors get one free t-shirt and free admission, which is included in the $10 per table fee.
