For Commodore aficionados and fans of other vintage platforms, here is Sellam "Sam" Ismail's pre-announcement of the Vintage Computer Festival East (East Coast of the United States). Give the VCF website a ring and state your preferences. Truly, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group ------ Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 00:49:45 -0800 From: Vintage Computer Festival <vcf@siconic.com> To: rbernardo@value.net Subject: Help Us Plan VCF East Greetings Vintage Computer Enthusiast! I am happy to announce that the VCF is moving ahead with plans for an event on the East Coast of the United States. We are considering hosting the event somewhere in the New England area, with Boston being heavily favored both for its central location and historical relevance to computing. But we want to be sure to hold the event in a locale that will be amenable to the highest number of potential attendees, so we are polling our mailing list subscribers to determine where the most ideal location would be. In deciding on a locale, we'd like to keep these criteria in mind: 1) Availability of an affordable location suitable for the Festival 2) Geographical proximity to the most number of potential attendees 3) Proximity to major airports 4) Availability of decent and affordable accomodations 5) Weather 6) Historical relevance (i.e. near Route 128 near Boston, as a parallel to doing the main Festival in the Silicon Valley) So if those who are entertaining the notion of going to a VCF East could mosey on over to the following URL and fill in the survey we'd be most appreciative: http://www.vintage.org/survey.html Your input will help to decide where we will host the first VCF East. The event is tentatively scheduled to fall somewhere in between VCF Europa (April 28-29, 2001) and VCF 5.0 (Fall 2001). Thanks very much for your participation in our poll, and we hope to see you at one of the upcoming Vintage Computer Festival events!
