Re: [vcf-midatlantic] VCF East 2021 Pay Per View Recommendations - Take 2
by Andrew Diller 22 Sep '21

Here is my ask to membership: 1. First, have you held your own Live PPV/Streaming event and do you have a strong recommendation for a service that worked well? 2. Given that VCF East will have a Live Stream of the event Speakers (-not- exhibits like in 2020) Sat. and Sun. - would you pay any amount to view it live? 3. If you would pay some amount to view it live, what amount would be low enough? $5, $10, $20, more? This will help set the cost. Note that post-show the speaker presentations will be edited and posted for free on the VCF YouTube channel as they always have been. The cost is only for viewing the live stream on the Sat and Sun show days. -andy

VCF East 2021 Pay Per View Recommendations
by Jeffrey Brace 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

I'm thinking about making a pay-per-view option for VCF East 2021 which would stream the speakers live. There are many people who are overseas who can't come and others who can't attend in person in the US. I have two recommendations so far, but does any one have any recommendations? Thanks! ========================================= 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

Adam Rosen who passed away in 2019 was a Macintosh enthusiast and had hosted the vintagemacmuseum website. His father Robert Rosen sent me this press release about his collection being on display in Montana: https://vcfed.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ACRM-Opens-Vintage-Mac-Muse… He wanted me to share it with our members and the vintage computer community. ========================================= 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: pair of FRS radios free to good home.
by William Dudley 19 Sep '21

19 Sep '21

Apologies for non-VCF content, but don't have another group of electronics users like this one. I have been given a pair of Kenwood UBZ-LF14 FRS (467MHz) radios. They are missing their belt clips but look otherwise in good nick. I have not tested them. The manual is downloadable online. I will ship if you pay shipping.

by Jeffrey Brace 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

Hello everyone, It's been years since we have made an order for hoodies. I'm doing my best to have some available before VCF East, so I will be putting in an order over the next week or so. There are different types of hoodies. Does anyone have any preferences? For example: Zipper No-zipper Sport-tek Heavy Blend Dry Blend Super Sweats It will have the VCF logo on it like last time. ========================================= 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

While Verizon deployed the new fiber for our FiOS internet, I spend a bit of time working on the previously donated Hexacon Therm-O-Trac 1002 soldering stations.
