How to reach more classic computer users?

While trying to figure out how to reach more PDP-11 users with my freeware archives (immodest plug: See http://www.trailing-edge.com/www/freeware.html for information about the PDP-11 freeware CD's and FTP sites with PDP-11 freeware) it occured to me that I've only been using two methods of announcing availability: this (Classiccmp) mailing list and Usenet newsgroups specific to PDP-11's. It's obvious that these methods of reaching classic computer users hit only a small fraction of active PDP-11 users. There's what, maybe a couple of dozen frequent participants in this mailing list, and the number of regular posters on vmsnet.pdp-11 can be counted on two hands. Is there a better way of reaching a wider audience of classic computer users? In particular, folks who don't read technical Usenet discussion groups and who haven't happened upon this specific mailing list. Or, even in this "connected" world that we live in, is there no better way of reaching what I know is a very broad base of classic computer users out there? One idea that has crossed my mind, but I don't know if there's any way to pull it off: There are obviously lots of "collectors" on E-bay who have little connection with our reality of using classic computers. Is there no way at all of reaching these folks? I don't mean preaching to them, but at least tying them together into a broader knowledge base than the wheeling and dealing on E-bay. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
