It would be great if as many of us on the list as possible -- especially those
near the west coast -- could actively support this event. It's a great time and
a good opportunity to meet other collectors, attend interesting talks and see
some great working machines. I'll never forget Jim Willing "smoking" his
Polymorphic 8813 during his talk at VCF 4.0! (Fortunately, no one was injured.)
It's also a tremendous opportunity to show off the pride of your collection in
an exhibit -- and I think that this year in particular exhibits are needed.
I've exhibited some IBM portables at the last two VCFs and it's been a lot of
fun.
So, see you all there!
