Andy, I'd love to have it as part of my exhibit, if you'd like. On Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 3:00 PM Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I don't expect there to be enough space. The Unix exhibit will be big, but we have a finite amount of space to share with all exhibitors at the show. It would not be fair if someone else has a tight space while another exhibitor has something unrelated to their own exhibit just for fun.

We are also missing that 2019 is the 40th anniversary of the Atari 8bits.
- the Atari 400 and 800 were announced 40 years ago on Dec. 14th, 1978 - first presented at the Winter CES in January 1979 as the 400 and 800 - The computers shipped in November 1979

I will bring my Atari 10888xel to the show for fun, but I'll be focusing on the Unix exhibition, and I'm sure there are some people working on some great Atari exhibits for the show- I just had seen it mentioned on the list, and we should perhaps note this in promotional materials, or perhaps try to attract some Atari-related guest keynote speaker.
