I've just finished putting up a quick page for my VCF 8.0 pictures. There
are no descriptions yet (any help would be appreciated - let me know if
you recognize folks, items or whatnot) but I'll hopefully get to them
soon.
Enjoy!

nice pics.
Obvious observation: did nobody truck in any big stuff? It looks to all
be home micro / desktop class stuff. The only larger item seems to be:

what the hell is that!? :-) Display data looks like some form of RedHat
Linux-a-like booting up...

That's an original Google server from Boris Debic (who works at Google).
Not truly vintage in my opinion, but still quite interesting.
>> did nobody truck in any big stuff?
I think the working Babbage machine replica counts as big stuff!
Alas, it's true, VCF was light on Big Iron this year. But for those who
haven't ever attended, don't let that scare you off. This year was just a
fluke.
I promise Big Iron at VCF East next spring!!

How can it be a working replica --- You need a small steam engine to
turn the crank :D
It counts as OLD iron not BIG iron. It looks impressive to me from the
photo.
The 'Magic' computer dis not look as impressive but it is nice to see a
TTL computer
at the show.

Simply just biased because of the following:
1- hot geeky blonde girl (most would stop here)
2- Ghirardelli chocolates (in picture)
3- did I mention #1?
4- a very, very nice Apple Lisa =)

Hi Erik,
Can I host a copy of the Lisa 1 picture on my Binary Dinosaurs museum site
please? I'm massively impressed to see one still running in 2005! And no,
it's not because there's a blonde in the picture - I live with one of those
so I'm all sorted ;)
