Vintage Computer Festival East X (10)

[pwermonger]

I will be at VCFE, with my Amigas. We have a 30 years of Amiga display we are bringing celebrating both the original machine all the way up to modermized 1200s and the current Operating systems. I don't have Amiga OS 4, but I do have MorphOS on a Mac Power Book. You can check out our google+ page at thegurumeditation.org which has our youtube channel as well which will have videos of our prep for VCFE, modernizing the 1200, and other Amiga projects we have planned as well as video we take at VCFE 10.
 We'll have at least one of each model line there this year, only missing the Tower versions of the 3000 and 4000. Probably something we will do every VCFE from now on, with varying displays each year we can make it.

All the Amiga folks were really friendly, Mac folks were kinda snobbish, stereotypes abound, but there were some kids and families there - it wasn't all geeky neckbeards, LOL.    Fantastic time, I might exhibit next year.  Will need a lot of coffee if I'm going to survive that plan.  224 pics on my flickr:

We need more stuff like this in the Washington, DC, area.  

Hey Mike, glad you liked the 30 Years of Amiga exhibit. Yes, the venue is great. The museums give a varied bunch of things to do besides the computers which is awesome. There are still a few I haven't been through.

I met so many amazing people there. The Atari guys were awesome and had a super fun mult-player game I cant wait to put on my own Atari machines. I wished I had brought Lotus 1, 2, 3 for the Amiga considering the Visicalc booth across from us.

I love comparing that blue 3000 motherboard to the later green one. I have quite a bit more interesting stuff from Commodore that will go into later exhibits. Pretty sure we intend to do this again and again and again as long as we can.

Madshib, sorry your wife was bored but glad you and your kids had a good time.  One of the best things was seeing kids playing with Deluxe Paint on the 4000. Nice to see an Amiga can entertain them as much as it did us.

We should get some more get togethers going on from the North East down to DC. Bring back some of the sense of community we had in the days of users groups.

Now, to figure out what theme to have next year and what machines to bring.....
