I attended the Vintage Computer Festival this weekend.
I had one hell
of a good time. I enjoyed talking with just about everyone. I didn't
I concur wholeheartedly. I didn't get to spend as much time there as I
would have liked, and certainly wasn't as prepared as I could have been, and
didn't help out anywhere near as much as I should have, but I did have a
blast.
I picked up a few things (a couple of 8-bit atari Carts, a TRS-80 Model 102
with some sort of really weird modification, a Mac II for Rachel's
classroom), didn't sell anything, but did manage to find homes for what I
didn't want to bring home. (Tip: If you tell Marvin you're going to throw
something in the dumpster, he'll take it even if it means making his wife
hold it on her lap on the way home. 8^) (P.S., Hope you guys made it home
okay!)
I also talked to a couple of people who aren't on the list but want to be,
so I'm going to send them the signup address (I shoulda written it down
before going.)
I want to thank Sam and everyone who helped out for
making the VCF a
reality. I will attend and participate (hopefully more) next year
without hesitation. It was Nerdvana.
Likewise! Next year I think I'll fill two tables both days instead of one
table one day. It was neat to be able to display some of my collection in
public. (Next year I'll get it together and get some of my stuff into the
main exhibits.)
Sam, you did one hell of a bang-up job. Thanks!
