I don't see why it should change what the
exhibitors bring. VCF events
attract everyone from the most hard-core collectors to the most casually
tech-inclined families with children. There's always something for
everyone at a VCF.
My point is that j-random-puiblic is not likely to pay to attend a
dedicated VCF event, so the people there are likely to have some clue
about classic computers. Whereas people may atted a museum to see other
things on show and then wander in to the VCF to see what it's all about.
Such people may well then do something very silly...
