Vintage Computer Fest this weekend

Posted at 5:15 PM on 6-7-07 by Rob T Firefly

Evan Koblentz writes in with a pointer to an event that looks like a lot of fun.

Hi, fellow hackers. Wanted to inform you guys of the VCF East this weekend, here in NJ. Our show was mentioned on “Off the Hook” recently so you might already know about it. This year’s keynote speaker is Chuck Peddle, of MOS 6502 fame. We’ll also have around 20 exhibits - the list is here: http://www.vintage.org/2007/east/exhibit.php.

Our venue is about an hour from Manhattan. You guys will have a LOT of fun, we promise! Our user group ran a small demo at HOPE 2006; this event dwarfs that.

I really wish I could attend, but I’m otherwise occupied this weekend. Someone please go and affectionately stroke a Commodore PET for me!
