[vcf-midatlantic] EGA Monitor for 3/26 work weekend

[Joseph Giliberti]

Good morning,

I plan on being there on Saturday and I can bring an IBM 5154. Just give me
a day or two to make sure it works, as I haven't used it since I picked it
up. If I'm not there for Sunday, I'm sure someone could hold on to it until
I can get it back.

Regards,
Joe Giliberti
