Announcing the AppleII Classroom *ALL THREE DAYS* at VCF East 2020
It is official! I can announce that we are going to have an Apple II classroom lab (9-12 Apple IIes) running classes *all three days* at VCF East 2020. Emphasis because this is the first time we are having classes on the Saturday and Sunday. This is something I have been dreaming of for years and working on with Tony Bogan since VCF East 2019. <http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-apple-8bit-classroom/?fbclid=IwAR1V3SWCuyNQcvqr88FYbXJKD40uAnmNfOGNxWqlGqWeyDWMDsKNwi_JAkY> Teachers will be: Stephen Edwards, Mouse Kelly, Dean Notarnicola, Javier Rivera, Tony Bogan and a lowly high school teacher who likes to teach students 6502 assembly which we wont name. ;) Retrobrite, Assembly, AppleBASIC, Joystick Repair, Modern Solutions for your II, the list goes on and on. Full class list at: http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-apple-... <http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/vcf-east-apple-8bit-classroom/?fbclid=IwAR1V3SWCuyNQcvqr88FYbXJKD40uAnmNfOGNxWqlGqWeyDWMDsKNwi_JAkY> Every day will also have an open lunch lab from 12:00-1:00 with Apple II games old and new. Maybe even brand new games if Michael Packard finishes his latest game in time. PS: The obvious question.. why Apple IIe? 1. It was my idea. 2. Tony is providing the IIes. More importantly, we expect to change platforms every year and hereby formally challenge the Commodore crew to start planning for the C64 classroom lab at VCF East 2021! PPS: Everyone should be proud of me for not making the obvious joke about the odds of getting 9-12 C64s up and running in the same room at the same time <duck and cover>
Don't worry. Everyone knows that it's impossible to get that many C64s operational at once :-) On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 9:36 PM Adam Michlin via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Mark me down as a teacher for the C64 classes in 2021. It'll give me a break from having to work up a new idea for my annual exhibit for that year. The nice thing about having 9-12 C64s in the same room is having all that wonderful multi-voice, wave-shaped SID music filling the air!

That's right, Jeff! SID rules! I'll teach BASIC and anything else we need for the Commodore classes. Can't wait for 2021! I guess I'll suffer through this year and tolerate the rotten Apples.

For the record, I'll be switching to the IBM PC side for VCF East 2021 and working with Dean to create the IBM exhibit to end all exhbits (IBM PC 40 years!!) so we can both laugh at the mere Apple IIs *and* C64s.

Nice! So our used-to-be-secret-but-now-not-so-much-anymore tentative plan is to divide up into three exhbits with the second and third ones done by other people. 1. IBM branded everything (me and Dean, mostly Dean) 2. Clones.. clones... and more clones. Big clones, small clones, red clones, blue clones, green clones. 3. Everything x86 PC compatible that doesn't (primarily) run x86 - hardware or software (maybe both!). With a possible competition for the most absurdly over the top gratious way of running x86 code (think hardware, running a virtual machine, running an emulator, running another emulator, running another emulator). The weirder every step in the process, the better! With also the possibility of everyone's favorite "Weirdest Hardware to Run x86 Doom On" competition.

So far I have 2 of the 4 boards from Seattle Computer Products to run Quick and Dirty DOS! I'm in need of the SCP floppy controller now. RAM card is also needed. I have the CPU and Support Board. I would love to do a S100 QDOS system in 2021 for the PC 40th? - Ethan

Hello Adam, I was planning on going to VCF 2020 but this is intriguing to me for a coupe of reasons. I have a pretty thorough collection of Apple II era museum interactive exhibits. I have tons of floppies, beagle bros documents, laser discs serial controllers, touch screens. I can’t commit to getting it there but if you are interested in having station wagon packed full of these items I can start to try to figure out how to get it there. This seems like a once in a generation opportunity to have some serious Apple II people figure out this stuff. If this is overwhelming, don’t worry I wil to sort through this stuff in the next 24 months and I will let you know when it is all spread out to look at. Talk soon, Ben

Every day will also have an open lunch lab from 12:00-1:00 with Apple II games old and new. Maybe even brand new games if Michael Packard finishes his latest game in time.
PS: The obvious question.. why Apple IIe? 1. It was my idea. 2. Tony is providing the IIes. More importantly, we expect to change platforms every year and hereby formally challenge the Commodore crew to start planning for the C64 classroom lab at VCF East 2021!
PPS: Everyone should be proud of me for not making the obvious joke about the odds of getting 9-12 C64s up and running in the same room at the same time <duck and cover>
I can help supply working C64s! I had a lot of them working from when Dan Roganti and I did our Commodore Game.
