This is really for Sam, but I think it's worth posting to the list.
The first speaker has been confirmed for VCF2 this
September.
Does this mean you have firm dates yet? I'd like to book flights, time
off work, etc. as soon as I can...
David Rutland was an engineer on a lesser known but
very significant
computer dedicated in 1950 called the SWAC (National Bureau of Standards
Western Automatic Computer).
Sounds fun!
It occurs to me that I gave a small talk on the Tek 4050 series last
autumn (fall). I'd like to come to the VCF, and I could probably bring
my 4052 and some demo programs, and give an adapted version of the talk
(either in a scheduled slot or probably more suitably on a demo stand
with the machine).
Finally, Sam, could you put me on the VCF mailing list, please. I tried
to subscribe from the web page but we've just migrated to Lusedoze Not
Tolerable and Internut Exploder, with the result that I couldn't get it
to work...
Philip.

Bloedem Volke unverstaendlich treiben wir des Lebens Spiel.
Grade das, was unabwendlich fruchtet unserm Spott als Ziel.
Magst es Kinder-Rache nennen an des Daseins tiefem Ernst;
Wirst das Leben besser kennen, wenn du uns verstehen lernst.
