I had an excellent time this year as usual, even though we initially had
some unforseen problems getting rolling toward Purdue. Lots to see, and I
had a fun time socializing(and on occasion brainstorming) with those I don't
see nearly often enough. The speakers were great and very entertaining, and
Rick did a great job coordinating dinner for Saturday night. As an
exhibitor, I have to say that the turnout was way better than I thought,
especially on Sunday.
Thanks to everyone involved for making this not only a success but an
entertaining endevour as well.
Looking forward to 4.0!

Yep, I had a good time as well (even if I didn't look like it all the
time.) It was great to meet people from the list as well as share a
bit of our collections with the general public. Dinner was a fine
idea and tasty to boot; I'm glad almost everyone attended. Here are
the pictures I took. There ought to be some better quality ones out
there, as I saw a few people with real cameras as well:

Excellent pictures, Jason. One correction - the robot is an RB5X, not
an RBSX. I'm sure the font makes it hard to tell.

Fixed! I need to get a real camera. Still, that's not
bad quality for a
camera-phone (LG 8700VX.)
Not at all. Probably about as good as my "real" camera (not to
descend into an off-topic thread, but mine is a DSLR that was new
about 5-6 years ago, thus while it has better glass than a camera
phone, I think you probably have a better sensor).
I took a look at my handful of pictures - most are worth posting - I
just have to find a few spare moments to put them up.

I too had a great time. I'm completely outclassed when it comes to
exhibiting (I have only 20+ machines, all 1978 and later) but I had a
fun time presenting.

Same! But now that I've met Jay West and Ethan Dicks in person, I can
no longer disagree with them on any viewpoints we may have on the
mailing list. VCF was like neutral holy ground ;-)
