I didnt
know about it till this thread started, I would like to go but
Yes, it seems to
have been very badly advertised. The fist I heard about
it was a comment in passing in Computer Resurection.
Evan mentioned it about 4 months ago.
I seem to remember that was more of a comment in passing, rather than a
'call for machines'.
I was talking to Philip (Belben) about this, and he made the very
reasonable comment (IMHO) that Bletchely Park was not an ideal place for
this. One thing that is _not_ in short supply among classic computer
enthusiasts are classic computers. What is needed for a VCF event (in
his, and my, opinion) is a hall with adequate mains power. Then the
enthusiasts can bring their machines and demonstrate them.
But there was little discussion ("Did Sellam
approve the trademark use?",
etc.), and I had forgotten about it, as well. Not that I would have gone,
. . . I haven't even been able to go to the most recent ones in
California, due to inadequately defenestrated college administrators.
Had it been somewhere I could have got to, and got a machine to, I would
have dragged _something_ along. I am not sure what, but I have various
interesting toys here. And of course I would have taken it apart....
As it is, I will restrict myself to giving an off-topic talk at the HPCC
mini-conference...
