I wish I could've been there.  I live in Chicago, IL.  Unfortunately, I had more important things to do that Sunday.  Saturday is my Sabbath, so there was no way I would've been there either.  When is the next scheduled event?  I can't do Saturday events ever.  I've got an A4K with a GVP 060/Fast SCSI, Picasso IV with all its daughter cards, MP3@C64, Deneb USB with a USB card reader in the other floppy drive knockout slot, CatWeasel (latest) FastATA controller, Vortex Golden Gate 486 SLC fully populated with the co-processor, FDC, & RAM chips, IBM AT video & network cards, and the rare Monitor Master dangling out the backplane; a couple A12Ks, OS 3.9, 1 with a Blizzard 68060 CPU, Subway USB, PCMCIA network (both wired & wireless) cards, MP3 in the parallel port & the other with a Blizzard 68030 CPU, both have the SCSI daughter cards; a couple of A2Ks, 1 with the DKB WildFire060 accelerator, another with the C= 68030 accelerator & SCSI card with the Amiga tape drive to run Unix, a Toaster, TBC, a bunch of other plug-in cards, a SCSI card reader; & 5 A500s, all upgraded to plug-in 68010 CPUs, OS 3.1, 2 MB of Chip RAM.

Other C= gear include the Madison Electronics CP/M board (unpopulated) for the C= Pet, no boot disk, sadly.  I've also got an AVT for SSTV and other assorted Amiga peripherals.

Other non C= stuff includes my Timex/Sinclair 1000s, a whole bunch of h/w peripherals for them, such as all the Memotech add-ons, a ZX-99 cassette controller, a h/w clock, a Westridge 2050 modem or two, a LarKen disk board with a 5.25" floppy drive; a T/S 1500 with the T/S 1510 cartridge reader; a couple of T/S 2068s, a video digitizing board from the Milwaukee, WI T/S group, a Centronics i/f, the Portuguese 3" CF2 flippy disk system 2 of my 3 FDD3000s bit the dust, 1 still works & I run CP/M 2.2 on it as well, a Sinclair Spectrum cartridge for emulation, & tons of commercial s/w.

I also have Sony's first computer, a CP/M 2.2 thing with a couple of its add-ons & its monitor.
