When the bomb threat happened, Jeff and Corey sprung into action and managed things with skilled leadership, I am glad they were there to make the decisions, manage the police and all of the initial panic that happened while we were being asked to evacuate without a lot of explanation.
Thanks. We managed with the sudden emergency situation.
My first thought was, how are they going to find a bomb in a sea of "looks like a bomb" vintage computing artifacts, boards, wires, half-finished things, etc? I also wondered if this was Lee's way of getting out of giving his talk, ha ha....
Yes. We wondered the same thing.
The exhibits were very well done, and I want to thank the OSI team for having me join with them for the 50th anniversary of the Ohio Scientific computer.
That was a great self organized group of OSI enthusiasts. I was glad that the group could enhance the celebration with an independent group effort.
It seems like the consignment program was a success. It may have been a little cumbersome for some, but I had no problems listing my two items.
Consignment had record sales. One volunteer took a video where people streamed in at 9AM on Saturday for 6 minutes straight. We had every available rack and table on campus.
The show was a success because of how it was run, plus a great bunch of people...despite what happened at the end.
Yes. It was a great success despite the trials and tribulations.
