I suspect a few AHRC and Freeside members would be interested in
this. Maybe it could be a good place to sell that big old video game
chassis that's sitting on the recycling shelves.

Announcing the First Ever Vintage Computer Festival Southeast

The original Vintage Computer Festival was founded by Sellam Ismail
and held in Pleasanton, California during October, 1997. Now,
finally, the greater Atlanta area / southeast region of the US gets
its very own!

ROSWELL, Georgia – February 4, 2013 – Vintage Computer Festival
Southeast – a public celebration of computer history and nostalgia –
will be held on Saturday & Sunday, April 20 & 21. Our mission
remains the same as that very first show:

The main mission of the Vintage Computer Festival is to promote the
preservation of "obsolete" computers by offering attendees a chance
to experience the technologies, people and stories that embody the
remarkable tale of the computer revolution.

We will educate and entertain!

- A large premier exhibit will welcome each attendee as they enter
the festival - The Apple Pop-Up Museum which tells the story of how
a small start-up company, founded in a garage by two young friends,
became the leading consumer electronics and personal computer
company in the world. The exhibit displays an exclusive collection
of game-changing Apple personal computers and consumer electronic
products while presenting the history of the company since its
founding in 1976 to the present. An Apple I, the first disk ][ and
controller card, original apple ][, original Lisa and even a Xerox
Alto are among the rare artifacts to be displayed, plus much, much more.

Within the 6,000 square feet of display space that this premier
exhibit occupies will be the following rooms: Pre-Apple Room, Apple
I Room, apple ][ Room, Turmoil Years Room, No Founders Left Room,
Jobs’ Come Back Room, Ive’s Colors Room, iPod / iPhone / iPad Room,
The Timeline Lounge and Apple’s Present to the Future Room.

- Dozens of exhibitors will be present from all over the region,
plus many from other parts of the country. A large variety of
historic computers will be represented in the exhibit hall for live
demonstrations by their owners.

- A vintage game station will be available for children and adults
to play classic games on classic computer and game console systems.

- Two retrocomputing kit building classes will be held, plus
continual, inexpensive introduction to soldering classes.

- Many luminous speakers and special presenters are now being scheduled.

The VCFSE is hosted and produced by the Computer Museum of America
and the Atlanta Historical Computing Society.

One-day adult tickets to the VCFSE are $10, with a two-day pass for
$15. Children ages 17 and younger are admitted free when accompanied
by a parent or guardian. For hours, location, and other details,
