Is “TRS-80” a typo? PET to Amiga would make more sense in the context of the other machines in the paragraph. “… >From the *Altair 8800*, *Apple I*, and *Commodore PET* to the *TRS-80*, *IBM PC*, and *Macintosh*, this theme gives us room to showcase the innovation and competition that defined the era …..” On Wed, Dec 17, 2025 at 7:52 AM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: > Just curious, what is the “theme “for VCF East 2026? > > > Sent from: > My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device. > > > On Dec 17, 2025, at 12:02 AM, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < > vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: > > > > Fill out this form to register an exhibit at VCF East: > > https://forms.gle/cghQMPuh366pkdfD8 > > > > Take care! > > > > Jeff Brace > > VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President > > VCF East Showrunner > > VCF Fundraising Manager > > VCF Evangelist > > Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity > > https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> > >

Apology
by Joseph Giliberti 17 Dec '25

17 Dec '25

Everyone, I just wanted to say I am sorry for my comments and how I acted on Sunday. I was running on little sleep after being at IA setting up for Festivus from 0400 on Saturday. I was under the impression that Sunday would be an easy going continuation of the and was kinda blindsided to find out that everyone had gone home and we had to clean up everything ourselves. It won't happen again. Regards, Joe Giliberti
