Come one, come all, to the Seattle Retro-Computing Society's regular
monthly meeting! It will be held Saturday, March 24th from 11:30 AM
to 5:00 PM (please note our new starting time, which is an hour later
than it was last year).
Please read the important announcement about our website, at the end of
this message!
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!
We are pleased to announce that the feature on our website which says
who is coming, what they mean to bring, and what they hope someone else
will bring has been de-zombied. We formerly had trouble with it not
resetting after the meetings each month, so no one could rely on
anything they saw there unless it happened to contain a date.
Well, it now works properly (AND says when you're coming even if you
don't say you'll bring anything!) -- but since everyone kind of gave up
on it over the last few months, as I write this only three people have
filled it out for the coming meeting. Please take a moment to fill in
your RSVP for March!
