Adam and I got to the museum at 11 today and stayed to 7. We took delivery of an IBM System/36 and its printer from member John H. and his father. We also took delivery of a few micros, most notably a Compaq Portable III with the add-on "backpack" for installing expansion cards. I'm happy about that so we don't have to keep bugging Mouse to loan us his for various demos. :) I was docent today; steady flow of families all day. About 25 people total. Adam was in the warehouse sorting more Commodore items (software this time) ... and in the process found 10 more Commodore-branded cassette drives and several nice modems. Bill Drom. and Duane were there all day working on the UNIVAC. Laura came over to paint more of the new UNIVAC backdrop and the third pallet. Tony stopped by to do more Apple II/Apple III evaluation/repair. It's fun when there is so much activity! ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, executive director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation
