It is official! I can announce that we are going to have an Apple II classroom lab (9-12 Apple IIes) running classes *all three days* at VCF East 2020. Emphasis because this is the first time we are having classes on the Saturday and Sunday. This is something I have been dreaming of for years and working on with Tony Bogan since VCF East 2019. <http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-apple-8bit-classroom/?fbclid=IwAR1V3SWCuyNQcvqr88FYbXJKD40uAnmNfOGNxWqlGqWeyDWMDsKNwi_JAkY> Teachers will be: Stephen Edwards, Mouse Kelly, Dean Notarnicola, Javier Rivera, Tony Bogan and a lowly high school teacher who likes to teach students 6502 assembly which we wont name. ;) Retrobrite, Assembly, AppleBASIC, Joystick Repair, Modern Solutions for your II, the list goes on and on. Full class list at: http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-apple-... <http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-apple-8bit-classroom/?fbclid=IwAR1V3SWCuyNQcvqr88FYbXJKD40uAnmNfOGNxWqlGqWeyDWMDsKNwi_JAkY> Every day will also have an open lunch lab from 12:00-1:00 with Apple II games old and new. Maybe even brand new games if Michael Packard finishes his latest game in time. PS: The obvious question.. why Apple IIe? 1. It was my idea. 2. Tony is providing the IIes. More importantly, we expect to change platforms every year and hereby formally challenge the Commodore crew to start planning for the C64 classroom lab at VCF East 2021! PPS: Everyone should be proud of me for not making the obvious joke about the odds of getting 9-12 C64s up and running in the same room at the same time <duck and cover>
