<br><br>I suspect a few AHRC and Freeside members would be interested in this. Maybe it could be a good place to sell that big old video game chassis that's sitting on the recycling shelves.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Now, finally, the greater Atlanta area / southeast
region of the US gets its very own!<br><br>ROSWELL, Georgia – February 4, 2013 – Vintage Computer Festival Southeast – a public celebration of computer history and nostalgia – will be held on Saturday & Sunday, April 20 & 21. Our mission remains the same as that very first show:<br>
<br>The main mission of the Vintage Computer Festival is to promote the preservation of "obsolete" computers by offering attendees a chance to experience the technologies, people and stories that embody the remarkable tale of the computer revolution.<br>
<br>We will educate and entertain!<br><br>- A large premier exhibit will welcome each attendee as they enter the festival - The Apple Pop-Up Museum which tells the story of how a small start-up company, founded in a garage by two young friends, became the leading consumer electronics and personal computer company in the world. The exhibit displays an exclusive collection of game-changing Apple personal computers and consumer electronic products while presenting the history of the company since its founding in 1976 to the present. An Apple I, the first disk ][ and controller card, original apple ][, original Lisa and even a Xerox Alto are among the rare artifacts to be displayed, plus much, much more.<br>
<br>Within the 6,000 square feet of display space that this premier exhibit occupies will be the following rooms: Pre-Apple Room, Apple I Room, apple ][ Room, Turmoil Years Room, No Founders Left Room, Jobs’ Come Back Room, Ive’s Colors Room, iPod / iPhone / iPad Room, The Timeline Lounge and Apple’s Present to the Future Room.<br>
<br>- Dozens of exhibitors will be present from all over the region, plus many from other parts of the country. A large variety of historic computers will be represented in the exhibit hall for live demonstrations by their owners.<br>
<br>- A vintage game station will be available for children and adults to play classic games on classic computer and game console systems.<br><br>- Two retrocomputing kit building classes will be held, plus continual, inexpensive introduction to soldering classes.<br>
<br>- Many luminous speakers and special presenters are now being scheduled.<br><br>The VCFSE is hosted and produced by the Computer Museum of America and the Atlanta Historical Computing Society.<br><br>One-day adult tickets to the VCFSE are $10, with a two-day pass for $15. Children ages 17 and younger are admitted free when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
