Steve Edwards and I did warehouse work for about 4 solid hours this afternoon/evening. We continued the book-paring project. We cleared off two or three full pallets of book boxes, divided the contents into keep vs. sell piles, and tossed a few that were in poor condition. The sell pile is for VCF East, but workshop attendees are welcome to first dibs. (These are different than the books that remained after Festivus: we recently sold those in bulk to a single party.) We consolidated the 'keep' books into standard-size boxes and put them all onto the usual warehouse shelving. Results: lots of newly cleared floor space!!! For the next book-sorting session, it will be much easier to work without a bunch of stuff in the way. All told, I estimate that we pared the book collection by about 30-40 boxes since we started this project a while ago, and there's still a lot more to go. -- Evan Koblentz, executive director Vintage Computer Federation www.vcfed.org evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 VCF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
