I thought all of Midwest _was_ a giant swap-meet? I have not been, just seen pictures. So, yes they do host a swap-meet. It's called VCF MidWest. -andy > On Jan 28, 2022, at 4:16 PM, Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: > > > From: Sentrytv <sentrytv(a)yahoo.com> > Subject: Swap meet > Date: January 28, 2022 at 4:16:07 PM EST > To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org>, Jeffrey Brace <jeffrey(a)vcfed.org> > > > Here’s a question for anybody who can answer it. > > Does the VCF Midwest host a swap meet? > > I posted the VCF East swap meet on “vintage computer site” on Facebook. > > Many people are wondering why it seems there is no swapmeet in the Midwest area or central states? > > > > Sent from: > My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device. > >

Another interesting first

This came across the game-history feed that is my inbox. I'm not sure if folks follow this list, but here is another interesting female contribution to computer history: https://if50.substack.com/p/hutspiel-and-dr-dorothy-k-clark For those looking for the quick summary: One of the many examples pointed to recently as "the first computer game" is a 2-player military simulation called "HUTSPIEL" that ran on the Goodyear Electronic Differential Engine (circa 1955). The real news here is that a recent tour through paper archives uncovered that the game was designed by Dr. Dorothy K. Clark. I'm rather taken with the image in the article of two people playing the game by reading output from ammeters. --not your typical game interface!
