I posted a few pics It's still a rough cut, no title, no descriptions I was going to add these later, using the info from the exhibitors page on VCFed I didn't get pics of the classes since they were in parallel tracks oddly enough, a lot of the exhibitor pics don't include the exhibitor don't tell Evan you weren't at your booth :) http://www.rogtronics.net/blog/?page_id=688 Dan

Re: [vcf-midatlantic] MAC with squashed screen (william degnan)

I use them both a lot on all of the unibody Macs that I'm fixing. Details on what parts drive what in ways that are fairly simple to understand (I just need the guidance as to what part to replace as well... not an EE... I can solder well enough for any sort of repair on these :-) ) I've also got some things for stuck drives (and sources for the gear that can go as well). Earl

July Workshop Date will be July 16/17

The July workshop will be July 16/17. I realize this is one week before HOPE, but I want one more weekend to work on the Commodore 64 robot in case I don't get it working at the June workshop. July 9/10, 23/24, 30/31 were unavailable. I don't think anyone would want to do July 2/3 because it is a holiday weekend.
