I don't know if anybody has talked about themes for VCF East 2024, but I realized that Sunday, April 7, 2024 will be the 60th anniversary of the launch of the IBM System/360. That will also be the weekend _after_ Easter, and thus be around the time when we would be holding VCF East 2024. I think that this is a very good opportunity to take advantage of these coincidences and do a System/360 or IBM mainframe theme.
It would not be out of the question for LSSM to bring in one of our mainframes for a running exhibit. It would take some planning, but I think there's sufficient time.
I'll discuss it with people here and see what we can come up with.
Let me know what the power requirements are - strong possibility I can being in a large UPS system to protect the LSSM system from the InfoAge electrical system
Thanks Martin. Let's discuss it in a few months; this is just an idea at this point. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
