Here I am in Milwaukee metro area. (Menomonee Falls). Heard of the
Wisconsin Computer Society? Al's home turf.

I've just started back to work for the University
of Wisconsin,
putting me in Madison for the summer before I set out in October for
_another_ year at the Pole. In the meantime, I was curious how many
listmembers were in Wisconsin. ISTR someone here is up in Appleton,
but I can't remember who that is. Not sure if anyone else is in the
area or not, so I thought I'd just give a shout.
I hauled along my 1802 kits (among other junque) in anticipation of
getting things ready for VCF-Midwest next month. One fun thing I
picked up right before I left town was a short stack of Elf
frontpanels, custom milled for me out of 3/16" ABS... a friend of the
families owns a business that happens to have a CNC machine, and they
happen to mill plastic stock. I approached him for some scrap stock,
and he gets interested enough to machine out a dozen switch holes
_with_ locator notches (the holes look kinda like a silhouette of the
Commodore chicken-head logo, but that's fine - the notches work
*great* at keeping the switches from turning in the holes). I look
forward to mounting one on my Spare Time Gizmos Elf 2000. Now I just
need to sit down and make a final list of parts I _don't_ have on hand
and finish assembly.
So if anyone is within striking distance of Madison, give me a shout
offline and maybe we can get together while I'm in the area.
