Total there were lots and lots people because of the train show. Various levels of interest. It's good to have visitors to show off our vintage computers! :) Jeff Brace

Thanks for the report. Are there any issues with the hardware on display? -- Bill
Yes. The TRS-80 needs some keys to be repaired, they are unresponsive when typing. I would like to get one of the TRS-80 floppies drives working with it. The Dec Rainbow is malfunctioning. Not sure what is going on there. The Commodore 64 needs the 1541 drives cleaned and repaired. They are not functional. I wonder what is going on with the Epson, maybe Evan remembers. I wonder if we can ever get that Sony working. Is the Osbourne booting these days? The PET Chiclet seems to be working. Sometimes it refuses to work without any apparent reason.

You're like the guy who tells how the magicians do their tricks....spoiler!! :-) Sent from my iPhone On Dec 20, 2015, at 9:20 PM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Google for "reverse ascii text". There are a few online converters. You type what you want and press convert. Then copy and paste the result. No magic needed...
