Jeffrey Brace jeffrey at vcfed.org Writes:Wed Sep 2 13:48:24 EDT 2020 Sounds like an Outer Limits episode where the world was taken apart and remade every moment and sometimes they made mistakes which is why when you lose your keys you find time in a place that you already searched. I thought this was a Spielberg "Amazing Stories" episode, obviously not. The episode is: "A Matter of Minutes" is the third segment of the fifteenth episode from the first season (1985–86) of the television series The Twilight Zone. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Matter_of_Minutes I remember that scene where the couple is in the "Void of White Space" and the "Supervisor of the Maintenance of Time" says: (paraphrasing) "Ya know how you go back to look for something you know is supposed to be there multiple times and then it finally is where you thoughtit should be? That's us. We forgot something. We are now working on moving Christmas!" I personally call them the "Minute-Ahead" men and you may hear me at a workshop cursing at them!!!! I DOOO BELIEVE!

AS400e on a trailer
by Bill Degnan 20 Apr '23

Check this out: https://www.vintagecomputer.net/ibm/as400e/AS400e_620_on-trailer.png It's always fun to rescue a huge thing and as you're driving the trailer home you ask yourself, "what have I done?" Here it is inside, getting in was a Herculean task: https://www.vintagecomputer.net/ibm/as400e/AS400e_620.png Next - it takes 25 hard drives, I am going to scale that back, and the power to hopefully limit to less than 15 amps. I have a terminal, tape unit and the software. Bill

Re: [vcf-midatlantic] OT: Almost hate crimed at Kelly's after VCF East
by Christian Liendo 19 Apr '23

I think we can all show support and still respect the victim's choice on going to the police or not. We are not the victims, we don't know how they are feeling. We can be pragmatic and supportive. We should support them in their decision and keep being supportive in our group. If the victims decide to change their mind we should support that as well. I'm not looking to fight with anyone, just asking us to be understanding of their decision.

My friend and I had a great time at our first VCF East this past weekend. He flew into NVA and we drove up and were just blown away by the awesome community. Thank you for the organizers and all those that helped make this a great experience for us and others. Thank you -Ryan
