Vintage Computer Festival East 7.0, May 14-15, InfoAge Science Center, Wall, New Jersey ..... web site and event details to follow ......
Dammit, why are these always so far away?
It would be great fun to have a 486 LAN Party whilst there. I love those old games!
Please tell me you are joking.
At the Vintage Computer Festival events, you won't find anything newer than a 186 (at least not on the microcomputer side -- perhaps some slightly newer minis or mobiles.)
In that case I will not be attending.
By the way, of the items in your "collection" (from your sig), I don't consider a single one actually vintage.
But try to remember you are in the minority when you state that 386 and 486s are vintage.
Then why does the 386/486 genre on the Forum here have a far greater number of posts than the S100 and Pre-Altair genres combined?

Of course I have no problem with an event that focuses primarily on pre-1980s computers -- in fact I plan on attending VCF East -- but I sure hope the people involved are not disillusioned to believe that interest in these now-antique machines is somehow far greater or more "legitimate" than interest in '80s and '90s PCs.
