Just in case anyone's STILL not aware: the Vintage Computer Festival
East "9.1" is only a little more than three weeks from now!!!
You'd be nuts to miss the show this year. It is the largest one ever: 36
exhibits, more than a dozen lectures, consignment/vendors, museum tours,
and a chance to win an oscilloscope from Tektronix.
People are attending from three continents, all over the U.S., and quite
possibly from other planets ... even Altair. :)
All of the details are at http://www.vintage.org/2014/east/ and we're
social at http://www.facebook.com/vcfeast.
If I can't convince you to attend, then maybe Gordon Bell can! Said he:
"As a speaker at the first September 1998 VCF, I have been delighted to
see it grow and flourish. The Vintage Computer Festival is an important
institution for computing history simply by getting everyone together
for collecting, sharing, and trading all form of bits. Having a forum,
gathering, and market for old stuff a.k.a. vintage computers and the
software that made them live is an essential way to preserve and expand
the history of computing -- for some of us, the greatest invention."
So, cctalk'ers ...BE THERE or be out of alignment. :)

Will that result in a bus error exception? Sound's painful.

I can officially speak for Sellam on this topic: we want to bring back
VCF West, but we need the right person to come along who can run it.
Organizing a show of that scope is a HUGE undertaking.
If you or anyone else thinks they're up to the challenge :) then email
me privately.

I'm afraid after seven years of head crashes, my IQ is down well into
double-digits now. I couldn't undertake my cat's funeral. And I know
what you all are thinking: This definitely explains the lameness of
my posts....

Hear, hear! I may be in a unique situation this year where I need to hook
up only for a ride home. If anyone will be driving back through Indiana and
might have a room to squeeze in an extra gas-paying passenger, I welcome you
to contact me off-list. I'll be traveling light.
Thanks
