How about taking good quality digital photos of the
exhibits and then
producting a small run of calendars featuring the top winning exhibits?
Give calendars to the exhibitors and vendors, and sell them (in advance)
to the general public.
I'd love to do this, but as Hans can attest, it's not a cheap process.
Perhaps even publish a coffee table book with
exceptional photography
and some text on the restoration, historical context, or other info on each
featured system.
I'd love to do this as well, but 5 other people have done this already (at
least as far as coffee table books with nice photos of old computer go).
Having a whole book dedicated to the VCF exhibitors awould be great, but
again, the cost is prohibitive (not to mention the work involved to do
it right).
That would be a fun project to work on, and might even
be a better way
to grade different restorations as well.
Some people would love to have the machines, but only have room for the
book. Hopefully this could grease the wheels a little.
If someone wants to do a project like this, I'll be more than happy to
provide encouragment :)
