So I got back from Notacon7 in Cleveland, OH, yesterday, and wanted to
mention that there was a classic computer presence there.
Robert & Jim from Fresno Commodore User Group were there and had setup a
variety of old machines including 64's, VIC-20's, 1541's, and even an
A500(Yay!) with a couple boxes of disks.
There was also a demo in the BlockParty demo competition from a guy who
used the Coleco as his platform of choice. His demo was mostly written
in Z80 assembly with help from some FORTH tools. There was a preference
for running these demos on the old hardware. Plenty of Amiga "trackers"
used during the music-only portion of the competition.
