Come one, come all, to the Seattle Retro-Computing Society's monthly
meeting, on Saturday, November 26th, 2011! You don't want to miss this
one -- it's our last meeting until January 2012.

Do you do any of the following with old computers near Seattle?

+ Use, collect, and/or restore them
+ Play games on them
+ Write programs for them
+ Develop new hardware for them
+ Help other people do any of the above

If your answer was "yes," as I expect it will be if you're reading
this
near Seattle, then the SRCS is for you! We exist so you can show off
your awesome stuff, bounce ideas off of fellow enthusiasts, and be
inspired by one another's achievements, plans and aspirations.

No idea is too big or too small, and we're not picky about what flavor
of vintage machine you prefer! Come on down and tell us about it!

Please note that, as it would fall on Christmas Eve and no one would
attend, we will not be meeting in December. If you miss this meeting,
you won't get to see everyone (and their nifty stuff) again until
January.

The meetings are graciously hosted by the Living Computer Museum,
which
is gradually fitting out a computer museum in Seattle's SODO
neighborhood. There will be refreshments, a Buy-Sell-Free-Trade table,
and enough table space & power to set up anything you may want to show
off!

For further details, please see our web page at
http://www.seattleretrocomputing.com/ and our mailing list at
http://groups.google.com/group/seattle-retrocomp . Hope to see you
there!

I write programs and play games on computers near Seattle... but the
*computers* are near Seattle, *not* me!!!
I am half way across the U.S. from Seattle. Perhaps you should say "if you
live in the Seattle area and do any
of the following with computers".

A valid point. I had been thinking in terms of "Do you do any of the
following, with old computers, near Seattle?" I should not have left
out the commas. I shall do better for the next meeting in January.

Well, I don't do any of them with old computers near Seattle, nor do I
do them near Seattle, but I'd like to attend such a meeting anyway.

Should you find yourself in the vicinity, feel free to drop by! We're
