VCF East this weekend has at least three of those five things. Come
visit to see which ones! :)
I think the DEC and IBM are given :-)
'Sex'... As in Software EXchange? I would guess some of that would be
going on. Or maybe the mating of male and female connectors.
'Drugs', I think most cc'ers would rather keep their minds active.
'Rock'. Well, it's a slang term amongst radio hams here for a quartz
crystal, also used as 'I've rocked this ex-PMR rig onto 2m' meaning
'I've changed the crystals and retuned it'. I would be very suprised if
there were no crystals at a VCF..
'Roll'. Paper rolls on the back of ASR33s perhaps? 3-level stack
operations in Forth or RPL?

But pay to get out again :-)
Seriously, good luck, I hope it all goes well

ages and/or constitutions.
Sadly, the world of drugs is a lot less fun than it might have sounded
to people 40 years ago. (Perhaps some will see a parallel with
computing... ;^)

I'll be there with several bags of drugs.... they keep my systemic
infection in check so my heart valves don't get reinfected for a 4th
time, getting a little tired of having my chest sawed open... so I'll
have all my drugs, some DEC's and hey, if anyone wants to head to a
strip club after the show... well, there's your sex ;-)
Oh and the Mindset's I'm bringing are IBM compatibles... got that
covered too :-D

Bacterial endocarditis is a right b*tch. I'm sorry to hear you got landed
with it.

On the bright side, one of my antibiotics is dicloxacillin, which is
what they treat for Lyme Disease, so looks like I'll never have to worry
about getting Lymes -- oh joy! :-/

You would need to step outside of the house into a wooded area and wait for
an infected tick to bite you to get Lyme disease, something few tech geeks
have to worry about. Yes, this is just a joke.
I looked up Bacterial Endocarditis (no idea what it was) and it does not
look like fun. I hope you get over it. Every time I go to the hospital to
visit somebody I wonder if I will snag some kind of untreatable super
bacterial bug that seems to live in hospitals these days. Doctors seem to go
nuts with antibiotics and new drugs are not a huge profit maker so few are
researching them. I would hate to go back to the pre Antibiotic era of the
1950's where common tasks like shaving could give you blood poisoning and
death.

Suicide's your best bet, then.
No matter what the fundies say, evolution is a demonstrated fact, now,
and all manner of parasitic bacteria are cheerfully evolving
resistance to antibiotics. The USA is one of the most culpable parties
in this, as it is routine to feed antibiotics to farm animals over
there - including all the perfectly healthy ones - providing a vast
living reservoir for the bugs to live in while they evolve resistance
to drugs.
Soon enough - a human generation or so - we'll be right back to the
pre-WW2 situation, where most or all common bacterial infections are
essentially untreatable with medication.
It will be a shame - my life's been saved by them, for instance, and
I'm jolly grateful - but on the other hand, the human population is
grossly inflated now. We're at about 7 thousand million now, when
probably, to preserve the planetary ecosystem in reasonable shape, we
should be under one thousand million. A few epic mega-plagues would
help the numbers move in the right direction quite a lot.
Black Death 2, here we come!
