Swap meet interest
by Kelly Leavitt 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Anyone interested in mid 2000's servers? I have several. If there is interest, I can bring them to the swap meet. They're big Dells, heavy and have no SCSI drives. Otherwise, the free e-cycling event is this weekend. I also have two old watchguard m525 boxes with the CF card removed. I'd like enough money to justify bringing them and to help pay for the spot.

Software for the Macintosh 512k?
by Justin Salvato 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Can someone point to where I can buy Apple Macintosh software for the 512k? I can't find much on eBay. I'm assuming software from the 128k runs fine on the 512k, but I can't find much. Thanks!

InfoAge Go Fund me pop

https://gofund.me/f72ab5f0 Yes, we are still looking for donations for the InfoAge Keep the Lights on GFM. Any amount you can donate _will_ help. VCF would not exist except as a listserv and forum if not for InfoAge and the space they provide for all our Mid-Atlantic events and functions! 2020 was hard everywhere, but InfoAge relies on visitors to make money- and those dropped off in 2020 due to COVID. A contribution via the GFM helps to make up that loss and allow InfoAge to provide services for VCF and all the other member organizations that are located at Camp Evans. Please contribute if you can and have not already done so. thanks, -andy diller

Museum Report 2021-03-20
by Jeffrey Brace 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

About a dozen visitors stopped by today. Some casual visitors and some high interest. One guy took a short tour, but had high interest and was familiar with a lot of the machines. A teen who builds his own modern PCs had high interest arrived with his mom. He tried out Lunar Lander on the Apple I, Space Invaders on the TI/99A, various demo programs on the Apple //, Textrix on the Unix PC, Minesweeper on the Windows 3.1 machine. I would have had him try some basic programming, but they arrived at 4:30 so they were running out of time before they had to leave shortly before 5. It seems that visitors are increasing at InfoAge.
