[HECnet] PDP-8 celebration @ VCF East

[Evan Koblentz]

DECheads,

Just heard about the UK event, so I thought posting about a VCF East is also a good idea.   :)

This year's vintage Computer Festival East is April 17-19 at the InfoAge Science Center in Wall, New Jersey.

The schedule is as follows:

- Friday all day: technical classes.
- Saturday/Sunday morning: keynotes (Wes Clark, Bob Frankston)
- Saturday/Sunday all day after keynotes: exhibit hall, museum tours, consignment/vendors

There's a special PDP-8 presentation Friday at lunchtime, and there's a PDP-8 pavilion in the exhibit hall Saturday and Sunday. The pavilion features 7 of our event's 36 exhibitors. Those 7 are all showing various models of the PDP-8 in honor of its 50th anniversary. David Gesswein, who you all probably know, will exhibit our club's Straight-8. It will go on display in our museum (same venue as where the show is) after the event.

Full details, online ticketing, social media links, etc. are at http://www.vintage.org/2015/east/.
