I’ll be with the (mostly) RCA1802 nerds coming down from Ontario in the S100 BUS RV. I’m the long-haired Scottish one with the dress sense that suggests a lack of adult supervision.
It’s an interesting venue. Not merely is there the Info-Age computer museum (with some largish old iron from Bendix and Data General) but there’s the radio museum, radar museum, makerspace, weird little Buckminster Fuller buildings, various bits of abandoned military hardware, ospreys nesting in the chimneys … oh, and this weekend-long computer festival. I’m hoping that they get the Linotype that we found last year in a more exhibitable space: one of our party’s father was a Linotype operator, and there were tales …
Yes, I’m going, but I expect my presence to be spotty. It is near family I’ve not seen in a few years, and my wife and I are bringing our young kiddos they haven’t met yet.
Looks like a pretty good program. The last program of each day seem particulary exciting: Commodore engineers, William D. Mensch, and Lee Felsenstein, respectively.
We are on the other “east” VCF - but realy to say its in “west”(Germany) but now many from the “east” (Germany) are pilgrims to the VCFe e stands for europe …
Linotype was operating also in Germany, but it is not so clear for me when it was and where. Something around Siemens 4004?

It was very cool, but I could have done without my allergies acting up, getting hit with a cold, and then standing in the cool drizzle for 45 minutes waiting for my wife to pick me up after the festival was swatted 2 hours before the end, and we had to evacuate the buildings.
Yes, the bomb scare was a bit rubbish. No idea why anyone would do that.
I picked up a really terrible ZX81 clone in the consignment area. It’s a Lambda 8300 (aka a Your Computer IQ 8300). It has a nicer keyboard, composite output and sound: so I suppose it’s better than a ZX81 in some ways.
Hope you stopped by at the RCA COSMAC 1802 table, ‘cos that was ours.
