I reached out to the vcf folks about either bringing my handheld eollection again or doing an exhibit on the OLPC project but never heard back. :(. Not sure what my plans are now.
Hello Dave, Sorry for the delay. Your e-mail slipped through the cracks, but I responded just now. I've been busy planning for the VCF swap meet and VCF East at the same time and not getting enough volunteers to help me on top of my full time and part time job, so I've been overwhelmed the past few weeks. Again, apologies for not getting back to you more quickly. Jeff
Will be at the swap meet though!

Howdy everyone,
VCF East is just over 2 months away, which is weird because it feels like it just happened like a month ago. I haven't heard much in the way of chatter of exhibit plans yet, so I'm curious what folks are working on, or thinking about exhibiting come April. I saw Jason was planning a PBX exhibit, which I can't recall seeing before at East, so that sounds cool.
Seeing as this year is the 40th anniversary of the Commodore 64 release, I imagine someone is intending to do an exhibit focused on it. To that end, if anyone would like to borrow my early model C64 for the show, let me know. Silver label, Rev A motherboard, very low serial number, and most importantly it works: https://commodorez.com/img/silverlabel.jpg
<https://commodorez.com/img/silverlabel.jpg> I'm gearing up to exhibit my Nova 1200 now that it's running properly. RIght now it looks like it will just be demoing Single User BASIC with an H19 for a terminal. It's not an exact match for the hardware, but it'll do considering I don't have any other Data General equipment.
