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.

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.

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>
