Hello Local Members: If you are new to vintage computers and would like to get started learning -in person- how to properly handle valuable artifacts we have something coming up for you. We are working on setting up a session of training in combination with our quest to have work done on our PDP-8. We have invited Dave Gesswein to come in and work on the PDP-8 and possibly other equipment too. Dave is figuring out his availability. We may do this as a replacement of the Sept 10/11 workshop. Many of our die-hard repairers are going to be away so the workshop was canceled. But I'm willing to bet a lot of hobbyists are not going to mid-west, and they might want this training if we offered it. Comments welcome here in response, but if you are flat out interested in this kind of training, let me know off-list. Thanks very much Douglas Crawford Mid-Atlantic Museum Manager
