[vcf-midatlantic] Trenton Computer Festival

[Dean Notarnicola]

Drew and I set up representation for VCF at this years TCF, the first live
TCF event since Covid.
Smaller attendance then usual, but the agenda was full.

Many VCF regulars stopped by to chat. Neil Cherry, who would normally be a
speaker, couldn’t make it this year, unfortunately.

We set up an Atari 8-bit, Apple //e and a Tandy Model 4D all running
various software, and all using modern solid-state storage solutions. This
was for the sake of simplicity as well as to evangelize the concept of
bridging vintage computers to the present.
I was going to have a 64C (to have the Trinity)  but the PS died  :-(

The younger attendees loved playing Ballblazer on the Atari and Robot Wars
on the Apple. They asked a ton of questions about the FujiNet and the other
solid state storage devices in the machines, creating lots of dialog.
Almost 100 flyers advertising VCFe were taken, hopefully attracting some
extra visitors.

Regards,
Dean
