COBOL research
by Adam Michlin 25 Jul '21

25 Jul '21

Hi Everyone, I'm doing some research on the history of COBOL education. I know we have some COBOL programmers on the list and probably have many people who have relatives that were (maybe even are still - HI NJ UNEMPLOYMENT... ahem) COBOL programmers. My question is how and why did you learn COBOL? Oh, and be sure to follow all the VCF social media feeds: facebook.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation Thanks! -Adam --- Adam Michlin Director of Marketing Vintage Computer Federation

Rarity of these boards
by Jeffrey Brace 25 Jul '21

25 Jul '21

I don't know much about S-100 boards, so I'm asking the group. Someone was asking if the following pictures should be save: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Jh43LAsiwnyor4rrGUYLZG4YlJt0K9H7?us… I would say yes. They seem to be S100 boards by CompuPro. A Google search tells me this: http://www.s100computers.com/Hardware%20Folder/CompuPro/MPX%20Board/MPX.htm Can anyone add to the factual Google search information? ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

OT: Last word (hopefully)
by Crawford Griffith 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Folks, Thanks for your tolerance of my tirade of a few days ago... finally had the nerve to read the responses, which of course were reasonable and well-intentioned, as most things are here. Computer networks are great force-multipliers: You can throw one dart and hit dozens of people in the eye. Yay. I had meant to send my email to a friend privately to ask for a gut-check on what I was feeling. Instead I did something I very rarely do and replied instead of forwarded. I expressed some things very poorly. I'm not a jerk... well maybe I am, but I'm generally not rude. So what I did was doubly or maybe triply stupid. And, of course I meant Mr. Brace. But no excuses here, I own this. If I offended anyone here with a badly expressed email, I sincerely apologize. This is a friendly community that is passionate about vintage computers, and incredibly knowledgeable and generous with their time and talents. Multiple people have helped me with projects, and I feel lucky to be part of this group. So, hopefully enough said about this. -Crawford

Telco test equipment needs a home (OT)
by William Dudley 22 Jul '21

22 Jul '21

I have come upon a small pile of telco test equipment. Pictures here: https://www.dudley.nu/telco_eqpt/ This is a mix of copper pair, T1, and fibre equipment. Obviously, the T1 stuff is just about obsolete, and the copper pair stuff, nearly so. Before it goes in the tip, is anybody interested in any of this, OR does anyone know of a museum or other organization that would want this stuff? There is a telephone museum in Albuquerque, and I can also ask them, but that would involve shipping. Thanks, Bill Dudley Jackson, NJ This email is free of malware because I run Linux.

Re: [vcf-midatlantic] vcf-midatlantic Digest, Vol 38, Issue 20 - a digest with NO vintage content
by Crawford Griffith 21 Jul '21

21 Jul '21

Alex, Hey, I’m trying to decide if I should sound off on this…. The VCF-midatlantic mail list seems to achieved a sort-of milestone. I got an entire daily digest of non-vintage content. I thought this list was for announcing VCF events? Or at least Vintage related? A little context: I really think communities should stay on topic, or they will start losing the interest of their members. If someone comes in new, and sees a community just blathering on, especially off-topic, it seems like just an exclusive clique. I am a big fan of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). When you get to SNR ‘divide by zero’ error, we lose people silently who just drop away, and the Foghorn Leghorns stay on and make it worse. I’ve seen entire corporate email infrastructures crushed by reply-all storms, so I am a bit sensitive to misuse of emails and un-necessarily broadband communication. I’ve thought several times to ask Bruce to step in and state some rules / principles of the list. I would gladly help draft this, if it would help. Please let me know what you think.

[OT] Cleaning a Laser printer paper pickup
by Neil Cherry 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

Sort of off topic as it's not really vintage, It's about 10 years old and I'm not about to toss a working printer. :-) I have a working multi-function printer. The only issue is that its paper feed only partially picks up the paper then 'jams' or gets a no paper message. I'm pretty certain that the printer just needs a good cleaning (it's covered in dust). Any pointers? What works best on the pickups? It's a Brother MFC-7860DW (Wireless). -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies

Free televisions in Maryland Suburbs
by Jeffrey Brace 18 Jul '21

18 Jul '21

Someone is looking to give away two televisions. The first is a Panasonic, made in 1999; the second is a Samsung, made in 1998. Both have 17" x 12" screens. They work. If there is any interest, then I will get you in touch with the donor. ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org
