VCF East 5.0 just two weeks away!

Now that the list is running again, I want to invite everyone to VCF East 5.0, Sept. 13-14, at the InfoAge Science Center, in Wall, New Jersey. As usual we'll have awesome exhibitors. This year we also have two special events: Vince Briel's replica creation workshop, where you can build a replica of the Apple 1 or the KIM under Vince's guidance, and we'll have a ceremony and tours for the "beta" opening of our computer museum. (We've been in "alpha" for the past two years.) Sign up for Vince's workshop at http://www.vintage.org/2008/east/workshop.php?action=select <http://www.vintage.org/2008/east/workshop.php?action=select&id=104> &id=104. We'll also have some cool guest speakers. Most notably, on Sunday, we have Bill Mauchly. Bill is the son of ENIAC co-inventor John Mauchly. We also have a lesser-known engineer named Watts Humphrey, who wrote the proposal for the military's "MOBIDIC" computer in the 1950s; it was an early example of client-server architecture. And we've got Claude Kagan, who spent 30 years at Western Electric and Bell Labs and who worked to get our museum a first-generation PDP-8. Tickets for one day are $10, both days combined are $15, and anyone younger than 18 is free. Parking's free too. - Evan
