I'm very proud to announce the first version of the Vintage Computer Festival in Europe! VCF 1.0e is scheduled for April 29-30 in Munich, Germany. Our beloved Hans Franke is the primary organizer of the event. I will be attending the event as well so I look forward to (hopefully) meeting a lot of you European computer collectors. The initial web site for VCF 1.0e is up but is currently only implemented in German. Complain to Hans. http://www.vintage.org/europa I hope Hans will find the time in his busy schedule to translate the site to about 7 other languages, but maybe someone can help him out. I think you silly Europeans should just adopt English already but I guess that's a flame war waiting to explode so I won't say anything (ooops :) Please send all flames and offers of assistance to Hans Franke at <hans.franke(a)mch20.sbs.de>de>. Unfortunately I know little about the event with regards to location, admission, etc. Hans has been doing all of the organization and we haven't been coordinating very well. All that information is on the website but I can't read much German yet unfortunately. My end of the bargain is to learn German fluently enough to give a 45 minute talk at the event. So at some point I should be able to read the pages. For now I remain an Ugly American. Oh well. I hope to see you there! It will be a BLAST!
