go) for Tony's finances, I'd like to do that.
Tony,
If you don't want to go for reasons other than financial, go ahead and say
so. We will respect your right to have a life.
But, if the reasons ARE financial, many of us would see your attendance
and participation as being a very good thing for classic comuters.
I did say the resons were _most_ financial. Which is not the same as
'entirely' :-)
More seriosuly, if I could _participate_ I would. But I can't.
Now some years ago I attended an event (not really classic computer
related, although there was an HP9100B there...) which I feel (to this
day) was entirely misorganised. I came away feeling very disapointed and
rahter sad, and almost resigned from the organisation that was running
it.
I seriously think that if I attended a VCF just as a spectator I would be
left thinking 'what might have been' and it wouldn't make me at all
happy.
There really is little point in me attending. Since I wouldn't have
anything of interest with me, you could get jsut the same information
from me by e-mail. The fact that I don't have a
digital camera is
irrelevant, since I won't have anyhting to show.
SO what is the point?
