Thanks for sharing your experiences at VCF East! I’ll be sharing some of your photos even I do my video on VCF East on my channel YouTube.com/@jdmcs…
Look forward to it! Note that David Gesswein (PDP-8 ASCII art) hasn’t yet posted his ASCII arts yet (got a message from him yesterday, he’s at another conference this weekend and wont get to posting until next week). And if mention Wizard and the Princess stuff, be sure to tag/note about Marcus Mera (and we’d be interested to find anyone who still had a working VersaWriter and software for the Apple2, I think that’d really complete his collection!).
