I'm trying to recall if there was ever a giveaway with the VCF logo printed on a punch card. I don't recall it, but someone else does. I do recall that someone punched out the words "VCF East" onto some and we had many of them and gave them out. Does anyone recall anything like that?

Not VCF logo. I think it was LCM that had an exhibit and was handing out punch cards with their logo. On Sat, Mar 11, 2023 at 10:36:02PM -0500, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

I remember those cards. They were ever-so-slightly thicker than normal. It might have been 2014, when you had the card readers on exhibit. On Sat, 11 Mar 2023, David Gesswein via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

I made punch cards for many years with VCF EAST and the year. I quit doing it because it stresses my punch. I still make single cards for VCF. http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/VCF-East2018/IMG_6617.jpg Mike Loewen mloewen@cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
I find that I have this NIB (DAK Industries!) Olivetti PR-2300 Printer that I had forgotten about and never tested or used. Centronics interface. See description: https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/X2238.2002 I don’t have a dust cover or the manual. Includes an optional axle-and-ends for rolled perforated-paper. Tractor-feed only. For visual reference, a similar eBay item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154926218781 I may have a box or two of those “dry ink jet” cartridges; they look familiar. Might be interesting as an early-ish desktop tech display in the VCF Museum. Recent comment from a cognoscenti: "I love the industrial, almost brutalist design. Very neat."
