Nice going ace!
Here's an idea for 3.0...get somebody close by with a working, large mini
configuration or small mainframe and have them spend all day assemblying and
wiring and booting it and demonstrating it the next day. A good full install
should day all at least.

There was write up of the VCF in todays Guardian,
it included a picture
of an Altair and a wooden Apple, along with an account of Ray Holt's
talk.
Oh good! Is there a pointer to this article on the web? If not, could
you PLEASE transcribe it for me and e-mail it along? (PS. the wooden
Apple would probably be the Apple 1).
It also says the it was organised by "...Sam
Ismail, a goateed,
hyperactive young programmer who started his own collection of 200
machines 11 years ago...". Is this a fair description Sam? ;-)
Pretty much. Except it understates the total number of machines in my
collection :)
PS Congratulations, Sam, on what seems to have
been a very sucessful
event.
Thanks!
