[rescue] VCF East 2022

[Mike Loewen]

    Exhibitors wanted! Deadline to apply is April 1. Exhibits are NOT limited 
to the shows two main themes.

    "Ever wonder about the roots of today?s technological society?  Did you 
spend Covid nostalgically playing old video games from the past on an 
emulator?  Do you want to get hands-on with computers ranging from the 1960s 
thru the early 1990s?

    Come to the Vintage Computer Festival East in Wall, NJ on April 22nd thru 
April 24th, 2022.

    On Friday, April 22nd, there are classes in everything from programming the 
Apple II computer to "learn to solder" sessions for both kids and adults. You 
can even solder together your own Intel based computer with our partner 
GlitchWorks.

    On Saturday and Sunday (April 23rd & 24th), join us for hands-on exhibits 
of vintage and classic computers along with talks from the people who were at 
the beginning of vintage computer history. Learn how vintage computers lead to 
today's world of technology becoming commonplace instead of niche hobby.

    This year we have two themes for our weekend talks: Women in computing and 
Computers for the Masses.

    Talks include a reunion of Commodore employees talking about their days 
working at Commodore Computers as well as the creators of the Commodore Vic-20 
and C64.  Talks by Margaret Morabito, the editor of RUN magazine. Learn the 
history of video game programming starting with the Atari 2600 to modern times 
with Burger Becky a long-time veteran of the video game industry.

    Consignment sales will be open all weekend where our members will be 
selling everything from vintage Apple to Zenith computers and everything in 
between, as well as parts for computers, peripherals, and other vintage 
computer equipment. Who knows, you may find the items to complete your 
nostalgic journey back to the 1980s. Will you find the personal and home 
computer that you have been looking for?
