I'll check my collection.  I think I have one down there in the basement.

VCF East 3.0?  How have I been missing this?  While I haven't been on the old 
Vintage mailing list for a number of years (too much traffic, too little 
time) and I only check the Usenet groups every couple of months, I'd have 
expected to see something somewhere about 1.0 and 2.0.

What machines will you be showing and what other Tandy machines are others 
likely to display?  I've got a few working machines on hand (1,2,4,4p, c1, 
c2, c3, 100, t6khd).  And of course a few non-Tandy boxes.

Cutoff 10 years?  A Tandy 486sx running Marc Ewing's first release of Red Hat 
would fit.  Or the even older Yggdrassil that I have.  (My first SLS floppy 
set from 1993 got recycled when 5.25 floppies were really hard to get).

Wall Township isn't in my favorite part of Jersey (I have no favorite part of 
Jersey and Hudson County where I still reside is as bad as it gets) but that 
looks to be an event worth attending and participating.  Probably won't be 
buying much, my meager budget will probably be destroyed at the TCF.

I think boys might benefit from owning a Barbie doll; every young man
should understand what an expensive proposition it is to cohabitate with
a narcissistic woman built like a stripper.  --  Tony Woodlief
