Well, I'm thinking we're probably pretty well covered by
Marlin, Dan, and myself, and maybe one or two folks straggling
along (like I think both Marlin & Dan had last year?  Sorry for my
failing memory, guys!)

You can see some photos of the ~3 tables of Atari stuff we had
over on the Indie Arcade facebook page:

Hah I haven't done any serious homebrew since 1997, and
that was one game. :^D

I bring a wide assortment of stuff, to give the whippersnappers
an idea of what it was like back then, as well as show them there's
a vibrant community of folks making sw & hw. :)

Not a ton.  I haven't confirmed how much space we get this year,
but guessing it's about the same.

We had round tables, and set up this assortment of gear:

  5200
  7800
  Jaguar
  2 XL computers
  5 Lynxes

(So 5 things needing external displays (CRT or LCD))

I don't usually bring my 1050 to shows. :)  And don't want to
risk ruining your disk.  (Though tempted!  "Behold! How we loaded
crap of disk 30 years ago!!!" ;) )

-bill!
