  • VCF West this weekend

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Thu Aug 3 06:54:00 2023
    The Vintage Computer Fair is this weekend in Mountain View, CA. I'm
    going to be in the area that morning and debating about going. I'd gone
    to the last two before Covid and went last year. I don't think I felt
    like I saw anything new, and the sales area was much smaller than I
    remembered.

    Maybe I'll wait it out another year.

    Long as we're bringing that up (and I know this is a late reply so please forgive me if someone else asked)... anyone going to VCF MIDwest?

    A few of us will be heading out to that one.

    Well, you already know I'm planning on going - God willing and the creek

    Correct. However, even with my 4WD, it can affect *getting* to the
    airport...! :)

    Well, you should be at the airport already if you want to get through the
    TSA screening by September 9th, right?

    Geez...I really hope it's not that bad this year. I've had some odd
    encounters with that bunch. I got pulled out of line one time so they
    could scan me for "nuclear" traces, believe it or not...

    Wow... so they really do listen to the messages left on the anonymous tip
