Hello, fellow Linux fans!
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 and a 2-minute video montage of last year's show. Or refer to the simple event brochure at http://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 (646) 546-9999
