I remember how psyched I was to discover that there were other people in
the world besides me who had an unjustifiably compelling urge to hold on
to their old computers. The list is actually what brought forth the VCF.
those of you who've been around since May of 1997 will remember that I
first proposed the VCF (originally to be called the CCC: Classic Computer
Convention) circa that time.
It's amazing that it's been 7 years. I can't believe how much time and
money I've wasted on this "hobby" ;)

Dunno how early I am, but I'm early enough that I had to submit a
