I was asked if I could post this to Atariage for any Northeast coast members who may be interested in attending:

-------------------------------
This year's Vintage Computer Festival East will be held September 12-13 at the InfoAge Science Center located in Wall, New Jersey.

VCF is a public event celebrating the history of computers from the 1940s - 1980s. The morning schedule is for lectures and workshops; the afternoons are an open exhibit hall where everything is turned on and working.

Among this year's highlights are the keynote address about RCA computers in the 1950s, an 8-bit musical concert, BASIC programming challenge, and the build-your-own terminal workshop.

Details are posted at http://www.vintage.org/2009/east/ where you'll also find the latest VCF news. A 2-minute video montage of last year's show is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.c...?v=0mNXrKjiD78. Or refer to the simple event brochure athttp://www.vintage.org/2009/east/vcfe6.pdf .... tickets are $10 for one day or $15 for both days; 17 and younger get in free.

The event benefits the InfoAge Science Center, which is a 501c3 non-profit.

Thank you,
- Evan Koblentz

I sure wish they could get the GCC guys back again. It's too bad the video was lost.

I'm planning on attending both days. I'm very interested in hearing David Ahl speak, and I've already signed up to build a PockeTerm board. Plus, I'll finally get to meet Curt!

Excellent! You'll have a great time at Vince's workshop, and Ahl is always a big hit.
