Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Next Year's show - VCF East 2021
I think it would be great if we all brought ENIACs and had a big mega exhibit. I'd like to see that. On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 12:15 PM Brian L. Stuart via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Though very few of us are quite old enough for it to be revisiting our youth, next year is also the 75th anniversary of the unveiling of the ENIAC. I don't know if there's room for observing the event in the formal proceeding, but I'm planning on another ENIAC-related exhibit for next year and if anyone else would like to do something along that theme, I'll be glad to work with you.
Thanks, BLS

Absolutely. I will fire up the nuclear power plant to supply the energy that they need!

Wait a minute! I know you’re talking about old and retro. But a nuclear reactor is out of date. what you need is an arc reactor! Ala iron man ! Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

I'll bring my SAGE. It only needs 3 Megawatts (including cooling). Mike Loewen mloewen@cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
