End of Summer SoCal events

Over in the PS/2 hardware newsgroup a notion is brewing to have some kind of a meeting for people in the SoCal area. Since I am one of those stiring it up, I thought it might make a good event for any classic computer list people in the area to attend as well. Pardon me for being lazy but below is exactly what I posted to the newsgroup. I live in the city of Orange, but visit a few places down by the beach, OCC swapmeet etc. I am fairly motivated for a local meeting too. To kick something off I have posted this with a new subject back to the newsgroup as well as emailed it to you. Unless you just want to declare to the world that you too are a proud SoCaler, don't post back to the newsgroup, send me an email instead. I'll collect up the names and email addresses and make a SoCal PS/2 address list and email everybody back in about a week and we can privately sort out a good meeting time and place. Once we have time and place, we can announce that back to the newsgroup and pick up the stragglers a week or so before the meeting happens. <mailto:mikeford@netwiz.net?subject=PS2Meet> My favorite meeting format is; Mini swapmeet with tables etc. to do some trading etc. Some sort of techy "meeting", like a Linux install maybe Some sort of food/drink A couple systems setup to make floppies or CDs nonstop. ;) Rough time frame, end of summer before school gets really going hard. Location; anyplace in SoCal is OK with me, closer to Orange is nice, but a good vendor with a nice parking lot is worth the drive. Unless I get a strong objection I think the meeting should be open to any old computer collectors/users and plan to post this message to the classic computer list.
