Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:

How do you know who won in advance? Unless you mean "take pre-orders" for
the calendars...
I'd love to do this, but as Hans can attest,
it's not a cheap process.
I might be able to cheapen the process - I have most everything necessary
to put out a decent (tho not _extravagant_) calendar: Nikon D70 digital
SLR, color laser printer (for the cheaper pages), dye-sublimation printer
for the glossy coversheet(s), and a comb-binder to put 'er all together. If
you really needed a hole to hang it from, I just happen to have a drill
press, too. ;-)
Granted, it just got a whole lot more expensive by someone needing to
subsidize my travel costs (read: airfare) to any VCF not within driving
range...

*That* would be way outta my league...
If someone wants to do a project like this, I'll be
more than happy to
provide encouragment :)
Encourage away, but if I can't afford to go, then it's all moot... ;-)
