VCF 9.0

---snip--- Hi I was there on Saturday. I came mostly to here Woz talk and the stories about the early Apple's. Woz talked about his choice to use DRAM over static. He said it was size and cost. Fewer parts meant less cost. He also mentions that the early code was hand assembled. He stated that if one looked at the code on would see the occational jump to insert a patch to the code. I saw the exhibits as well. There was a smaller turnout this year then last year for exhibits. Marvin was there selling stuff and I think one or two others. The fellow from England was there with most of a Babage Engine. Larry Pazzolo had a Spere( sp? ) system but has not been able to find much docs. One fellow had a EC-1 doing the bouncing ball simulation. I don't think there was as much effort into the over powering exhibit that took prizes as last year. This could be a good thing. I thought that most of these tended to be too much on, " look at all the stuff I have " and not enough on restoration, preservation and history. I'm hoping that maybe in future years, these will get to be more important than fancy exhibits. I took pictures but haven't gotten around to up loading to my PC.
