This Weekend: Vintage Computer Festival 10.0

Here's a gentle reminder for those of you in the SFO/SJC area. VCF 10.0 runs this weekend (November 3 + 4) at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

Highlights of this year's sessions include 'Deconstructing the Intel 4004,' the history of the IBM RAMAC disk drive, a brief history of phone phreaking, the role of the Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 in computer history, and a talk about the demise of Williams pinball by Greg Maletic, who we featured a couple of days ago.

The exhibit hall will feature Steve Valin's hobbyist single board computers from the golden era of hobbyist computing, a NeXT cube, a 'Pocket Rocket' Tandy Pocket Computer display, a collection of early Sun workstations, and too much more to mention.

Full access admission is $20 per person, or $12 if you're not interested in catching the speakers - you'll still have access to the exhibition, marketplace and film festival. Anyone 17 and under is is admitted free, and there's no charge for parking.
