[vcf-midatlantic] Heathkit trainer for M6800 at the consignment space

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Indeed.
And in my case it would have been to show a group of individuals who
profess to know gornischt, (nothing) about how their computers work
inside. All they do care about are those video games (or computer
games).

It would be too much to hope for one surfacing in December at the
Festivus gathering. Otherwise since currently that group has no
meeting place it can wait until next year. I belong to a LUG, NYLUG in
fact. And it also spawned a group where people would gather to install
Linux or to help people do that. And in my case I'd work on any of
several different electronic projects. As what I had planned on with
either of those two, it's still up in the air.
