I remember "logged out", it was very touching. I told my wife at the time and she agreed.

re: the passing of Randy Suess (BBS) and Gary Starkweather (Laser Printer) "silent keys" are amateur radio operators who have passed away. https://silentkeys.org/ The term "Fallen Flags" describes those railroads whose corporate names have been dissolved through merger, bankruptcy, or liquidation. http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/ https://www.american-rails.com/fallen-flags.html We need something similar to honor computer/electronics pioneers. -- Jeff Jonas PS: analogous to the computer jargon list is RR lingo: http://www.catskillarchive.com/rrextra/glossry1.Html

Brief Followup Kennett Classic Workshop 1/4/20
by Bill Degnan 09 Jan '20

09 Jan '20

I put up a quick blog post about the event: https://www.kennettclassic.com/january-workshop/ I regret not having more photos, I only took one picture because I was so busy...next time we're going to have to move into the green room, and forget doing any video. Here is a twitter post by atariorbit: https://twitter.com/atariorbit/status/1213696481061982208 After the workshop we all went to Grain and hung out. Our next workshop is going to be 3/28, which is a month before VCF East. We had 16 RSVPs, please sign up early if you want to be ensured a table: https://www.meetup.com/Kennett-Classic/events/267632933/ I want to thank everyone for coming, it means a lot to have had such a great turnout. Next event will be even better. Oh, and by then we'll have three new exhibits! If you still plan to see the Commodore rarities and history exhibit don't put it off too much longer. Bill
