by Jeffrey Brace 13 Dec '24

No one is signed up to sell anything. I need to set up the number of tables needed, today! Let me know if you need a table! If no one contacts me, then I will not set up. Take care!

Free modern-ish computers @ Festivus
by Joseph Giliberti 13 Dec '24

Hey Everyone! I have about forty business desktops from around 2014 which I got for free from my previous employer which are up for grabs. They are mostly Dell and HP small form-factor desktops with either 3rd generation Intel Core or AMD Vision CPUs. All of them have serial ports and some have parallel. I have no idea what is on the hard disks and most of them have a Windows serial sticker for either 7 or 10. I'm just checking to make sure there's interest before I load up my car. See you all tomorrow! Joe Giliberti

VCF East 2025 Exhibitor Registration - OPEN!
by Jeffrey Brace 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

VCF East 2025 Exhibitor Registration is now open: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedyn-m5gSCc0Sifce0O_HnVYtWu7s9u7D… I took some time to improve the registration form with help from Rick Lewis to improve the wording and clarity. As well as fix up the Exhibitor FAQ. This year we will be charging exhibitors per table to keep up with the growing expenses of the show. We continue to support volunteer and speaker expenses as much as possible. I'm only charging the cost of the tables and chairs. We are actually cheaper than other shows that charge $50 per table. Take care!

Festivus Swap Meet Items Available
by Andrew Diller 12 Dec '24

I've done a clean out and will have a bunch of stuff for very cheap and for the free pile so make sure you stop by my table. P4 system, P1 system, even some very rare SGI Indigo RAM (2MB x 4) and a bunch of SGI ram for older VME boards. MacSE w/ 020 board, Mac Plus with 030 board, some se video boards. Plus tons of various ram and junk I'm clearing out. Indigo Ram looks like this: https://bukosek.si/hardware/collection/sgi-indigo/img/r3k/indigo_r3k_ram_st… I have some networking gear going into the free pile as well. I have a 7' full 19" Rack that is very nice and comes apart into 6 pieces- top, bottom and the four sides. Super easy to transport and move. That is a giveaway- but I'm not bringing it up unless someone will take it (otherwise it goes to the metal scrappers). If you will be at festivus and will take this rack (free) email me off list and it's yours. It will require a vehicle that can handle the 7 foot tall posts- so be aware. It goes together with just bolts. -andy
