What about a VVCF = Virtual Vintage Computer
Festival?
Via a Website to webcams at list members locations.
If around they can show off their collection to one or more visitors.
Lectures no problem.
Demo's Yup.
No need to drag equipment around the country.
Precious/heavy kit does not get damaged.
Fully International
Zero cost.
The only downside is the loss of the social aspect.
From being to and organizing some VCFs, I'd
say most of the point what
the social aspect. Having some virtual on-line thing
pretty much
completely negates the point of having one.
My favorite part of the VCF experience is actually the Saturday night
dinner. That makes the volunteer work "worth it" for me.
I don't often get to socialize with like-minded people.
