A LART is needed (was: VCF 4.0)

12 Oct 2000

...
  Let's see,
how would you name a meeting where several buyers went
home with new toys at acceptable prices (a TRS 80 M1 with expansion
box, printer and all dust covers (!) at USD 30 isn't realy overpriced)
and some pricepushing dealer went home with their entire stock ?
  I just Wish I could have seen his face when he was packing his stuff back.
 I hope he swore to never make it back. 
I don't think that my prices were THAT bad!  We made a lot of people
happy, got rid of a few boxes of old class handout reprints from Dr.
Dobbs, and found homes for a few items (PCJrs, Portfolio, etc.).  At the
end of the day, I sold my entire remaining stock that I had brought down
to a colleague who is starting a collection (OSI, N*'s, Compupro, etc) for
a preset price.  He still owes me one more pizza.

Sellam puts on a fantastic event (calling it a "great fucking show" could
be miscontrued).  I shall return.
