My limited experience (from taking my Imlac to VCF East 1.0) is that it is
not the unique single machine that wins the price, but the machine(s) which
the largest number of people attending have had some experience. If this is
true, the two are pretty much mutually exclusive by nature. I've also found
that more people seem to have had experience with the more recent "personal
computers" than have with older minis, et al.

You
know, after seeing all these pictures, and hearing about it, I
do hope VCF East ends up in the New England area. I wonder if having a
booth with my VaxStation 3100 m38, DEC 3000/400, Mac SE/30 (with split
keyboard!) and maybe the Sun Ultra1E, all playing nice together, would
look out of place?
No. And one certainly doesn't win the People's Choice award by showing
off a single machine.
