Come one, come all, to the Seattle Retro-Computing Society's regular
monthly meeting! It will be held Saturday, August 25th from 11:30 AM
to 5:00 PM.

Do you do any of the following with old computers? Will you be near
Seattle on Saturday?

+ 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," 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!

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!

Considering that no one is likely to drive more than maybe 20 miles to
actually attend this thing I still don't understand why they find it
necessary to tell the whole world about it in more than a dozen different
newsgroups.

Actually, while I generally agree, I actually liked to see this. In fact,
if I were in the area on a trip that overlapped this meeting, I would see if
I could attend.

You always such a negative little bitch? So what? It's a retro computer get together, so they of course are going to post it to a bunch of groups. The fact that the internet is world wide is why they go world wide. I don't know of any local way for them to reach their audience. In fact, if they hadn't posted it, I wouldn't of known about it.

Love how the internet brings out the losers like you. Remind me of grandma. "You can't do that, it's too hard" She died. You should also.
