I went to a workshop for the first time, learned how to solder with the help of my friend Todd, but ultimately didn't succeed in repairing any machines yesterday...oh well, maybe next month. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Apr 14, 2019 at 8:23 PM Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
It started out in bizarro world: Ian skipped this one, and Tony worked on Atari, Commodore, and Tandy gear (no Apple II!). :)....
Jeff S. tested some of our Tandy hardware.
Anthony and Jason worked on getting a Counterpoint system up. Refresher: Counterpoint built a few hundred Unix workstations on contract to AT&T in 1986, AT&T canceled the project, and so these were never released. The ones we have may be the last ones around. It took some brainstorming (and some trial-and-error), but this morning one of the workstations came to life!
Drom stopped by, unexpected, and worked on the Univac.
There was a Don Casselli sighting, but I didn't have a chance to talk to him (was busy withe museum visitors).
I worked on the museum info kiosks. Big accomplishment: I installed Apache as our intranet server. Never installed that before, so I learned something new. Jason provided tech support for a few of my questions. Jameel donated two micro-form-factor PCs for powering the kiosks. I wiped them (they had Windows 10) and put on Linux, of course. :) I installed OpenKiosk on them.
Tony's projects were for the VCF East Software Store.
Jeff S. worked on his MOBIDIC replica which will someday power our life-size replica.
I'm not sure what Dean did.
Jeff B. helped out with a little of everything.
