Got to the museum at 11 today to meet with a local Bell Labs alum who heard about us and wanted to donate a straight Apple II. It's a rev. 3 or 4, very clean, but it was last turned on 30 years ago so I'll let Ian, Tony, or Corey evaluate it at the next workshop. I did not want magic smoke. This is only our second original Apple II. The guy used it as part of a Bell Labs field trial of cell phone infrastructure in Chicago in the late 1970s -- that's historic! Then the place was dead from 1-3, and there were tons of visitors from 3-5. Coincided with rain outside -- mostly tourists who left the beach, I suppose. Mike P. (a member who brought his kids to VCF East and some of our workshops) stopped by too. I didn't leave until 5:30 because of an enthusiastic tour group. I also tried to set up our new LTE modem; it's supposed to be more reliable than the old one. I got the modem itself working, but I need help to get the wireless/Ethernet bridge connected to our network. Dean, Jason, Neil, Alex J, etc. could all help with this.
