Well, it wasn't bad. Not great; but OK.
Much like Diogenes' favorite wine :-)
And how!
As if anyone needed any further incentive to come to VCF, but I dragged
along a couple of personal items for consignment just in case anyone needed
any /enticement/:
- Terak 8510
- Xerox 6085 ("Daybreak")
Now you all have to come and buy my stuff (so I can fund a computer rescue,
help!)

not so much at VCFW. Last year I bought some stuff because
Fred
specifically brought stuff for me.
I don't know about "legendary"; I'd reserve that for Sellam's early
events
which were more like a flea market plus exhibits. BUT, I was very pleased
with how consignment was managed last year. I was surprised at how
thoroughly the "FREE" table cleared.
great
food
Yeah..... Not quite ;) , and
incredible company/friends!
This now be true! Honestly the exhibits are great, the CHM access
is an awesome bonus and
do what I do eat off site...
Unfortunately I will be missing it this year.
It's a maybe whether I can manage to get there this year.
But, I won't be able to take a carload of stuff.
p.s. Is this one of those thread jacking
incidence you were talking
about? ;)
Well, announcement of Apple Ones is certain to bring about arguments about
the machine. I think that one is well worth $666.66 but not what people
are paying for them.
This "thread jacking" continuous heading off on tangents is the basis of
Vannevar Bush's dislike of hierarchical organization of information, Ted
Nelson's "Hypertext", and Berners-Lee's WWW.
