[vcf-midatlantic] Virtual World of Commodore is TODAY!

[Jeffrey Brace]

That was a fun day!
Got there really early to finish up my exhibit. Bill Inderrieden came
around 12:30 to help me out. Dylan came for docent duty around 1PM. Corey
came at 1:30 with his son Ben to be my cameraman.

The 2PM exhibitor ran late because they got Zoom-bombed and then had
various technical difficulties with that exhibit.So I started late with my
80's bedroom exhibit, yet I still had some extra time for Corey to do a
brief tour of the museum. If we had the full hour, then we could have done
a longer tour.

At 5PM I did the C64 Capsela robot. Bill Inderrieden had helped me finish
it up. Unfortunately, the transmission part didn't work and we couldn't
find a working replacement, so no steering, but the drive wheels worked. I
demonstrated it in a stationary position. I was able to find the software
that I had modified to control the robot with a joystick.  I had some extra
time, so I showed off the C128 with GEOS 128 and the 1541 Ultimate II on a
Commodore 1902 monitor which I had gotten working when the museum was
shutdown March, April and May.

It was a lot of fun and I was glad that I was *just* an exhibitor and not
running the show. All of us had a lot of fun. I hope that I will be able to
go to the World of Commodore in person next year!
