VCF Build-It-Yourself Workshops

Just a quick note to let everyone know of the workshops we've added to the VCF this year. These workshops feature vintage computing kits that you build yourself, guided by the people who designed the kits. So far we've announced workshops for the XGameStation Pico Edition run by its designer Andre' LaMothe, and a COSMAC Elf 2000 (as featured on the cover of Nuts & Volts last month) run by its designer Bob Armstrong. Very soon I'll be announcing a third workshop run by Vince Briel to build his new Replica-1. These workshops are an excellent way for people who have always been interested in hardware but never had a practical environment for experimenting to pick up some new skills from top notch engineers, and some nice new toys (that you build yourself!) in the process. To read about the workshops, go here: http://www.vintage.org/2006/main/workshop.php There is a registration button for each workshop on its respective page. Payment is via PayPal (from your account funds or credit card). The workshops are scheduled at different times so the really adventurous can go to all of them ;) Vince's Replica-1 workshop will be going up very soon. A full VCF update will be coming out this week, with the current speaker schedule and more information on the first Vintage Computer Film Festival. Remember, Woz will be there, along with a bevy of other early Apple employees and founders for our 30th anniversary celebration of the birth of Apple. I'd also like to see some more exhibits get registered :) E-mail me with any questions you might have. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
