I just received an email letting people know that the Vintage Computer Festival - West is back! From what I understand the 'East' ones were still happening periodically but it's been some time since I've heard of one out here in California.
Info for both coasts (and beyond):
http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/
"Come join us for a few days of family-friendly historic computing awesomeness. Each event has a hands-on exhibition hall where you can see and try computers from the 1960s-1980s. There are also keynote lectures, technical classes, special attractions, and much more."
When: August 6-7, 2016
Where: Computer History Museum, 1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View, California
(the CHM itself is *amazing*)
Now, if they could just bring back the ham radio / computer / electronics meets that used to be held at Foothill I'd think I'd fallen into some sort of time-slip by driving too fast on the way to work this morning...anyone remember those, or the Robert Austin / Fred Harney and Sons "show & sale" events from the 90's?
