Hey, don't forget that $100 Atari Belt buckle (only
one at
that price!!!) :-)
Perhaps you would be interested in a once in a lifetime offer of an Amiga
CD32 umbrella (never used), or a chocolate tea pot, or...
Anyway, does anyone have experience with Riser ISA cards. I have one
salvaged from a Viglen 25MHz 486 and want to connect it to a Pentium 2. The
Riser card has 6 ISA ports.

I may offer a basket of Commodore candys - in original case, never used.

BTW: Are there some people collecting merchandise/advertizeing
gimicks of the computer age ?

Certainly. I have a bunch of Atari and Commodore ad-blurbs that have nothing
to do with furthering my knowledge of the machines. For example I have a
lovely glossy for an Atari 810 that I treasure. Sure I keep the machines
because I like them, but if in my older "old age" I need money their value
will be enhanced for younger generations of collectors should I have to off
them before I die.
And of course the Atari 2600 t-shirts have been a big market item for some
time, and the Atari Riot group has made Atari items popular. Apple could be
next but I have more trouble viewing the A-II as socially dangerous which it of
course was if you view it sociologicly.

Well... somewhat inadvertantly. Packrat that I am I grabbed as many of
the posters and advertising materials that came by the stores in the early
days. Don't have an exact count, but it is in the multiple hundreds.
Actually brought two mailing tubes (stuffed) full of them to the last VCF,
but never got time to pull them out. Maybe this year (if I EVER get
organized) I'll get some of them in frames and bring along.
...of course, I've also been saying for probably two years that I was
going to get pictures of at least some of them and get them on the web
site... (sigh) (most are too big for my scanner!)
Coming soon (?) - Pictures from the 8th WCCF (March 1983)! (and earlier
as I find/get time to scan the pix/slides/etc...)

Well, not exactly what I asked (but glad about every saved flyer).
My question was more about all the other stuff - T-Shirts, umbrellas,
tie needls, watches, keyholder, cups, .....

Next time I will first peek into all of your stuff before the
end of the VCF :)

Apropos Pictures, is there any chance that you will finish the
subtitles for the VCF 2.0 pictures ?

Well, ok... that too. Did you catch my second talk at VCF 2.0? The
somewhat odd (jingling) lab coat adorned with about 50 computer related
advertising/logo/etc buttons and pins picked up over the years?

Or just pick a price and offer them here? 8^P
(RoboCity was so well done, we used to just sit and stare at it
for 10 minutes at a time.)
