Our next show is planned for April 9, 10 & 11, 2021. The theme is : 1) 4004/8080 microchip 2) [gaming stuff] Um, just wanted to verify. Do you really mean "8080" or do you actually mean "8008"? It would be an easy mistype, and it's a big difference.
OK. So I meant to say 8088 because the IBM PC 5150 had an 8088 chip and it is the 40th anniversary. I didn't want to restrict the theme to just the anniversary of the IBM PC, Vic-20, etc. I wanted to keep it generalized enough for more diverse exhibits, yet still allow for people to do anniversary themes. I chose the 4004 chip because of the 50th anniversary of that chip.
