I ran into a snag with the Logo code on the Apple Lego robot kit, so Dean is coming over tomorrow to help. Which means at age 42 I'm having a friend over to (ahem) play with Legos and 8-bit computers. Last time I did that was around age 12. :) Vintage computing: it's the hobby that keeps you young!

Museum report
by Evan Koblentz 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

I went to the museum today at 12:30 to give a tour to an out-of-town visitor who arranged it a while back. He's an EE who brought his son (home from college on winter break) who is studying to also be an EE. They spent a couple of hours with us. They brought us an EPROM burner for the workbench. I went to lunch at 3pm, came back, and the radio club guys flagged me down. They had a group of three visitors from California who wanted to see us. That group of people was also very knowledgeable and said they may have some S-100 donations for us. So, five visitors today, all extremely knowledgeable, EPROM burner for the museum, more possible donations later, and one good lunch. Glad to be there today. Oh and I had an InfoAge marketing committee meeting at 5pm which was fairly boring. :) I did learn that the sidewalk to our museum building is being converted to an ADA-compliant ramp (the law, not the language!) next spring. The IA board chairman promised me construction won't conflict with VCF East. I will stay on top of that just in case.

Anyone have a Motorola Tango? It's a two-way pager from 1995. If you have one, then contact me privately. Can't discuss this on the list.

PAL monitor available to lend if any VCF display requires it
by Jeffrey Jonas 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I just acquired a TV studio monitor with NTSC/PAL switch. I'll gladly lend it to anyone requiring it for their Vintage Computer Fest display, opening the way for more items rarely seen in the USA. Some tables are near a 220 volt outlet, used successfully in the past. -- jeff jonas
