VCF East 4.0 Info
This year's show is June 9-10 in Wall, New Jersey. We have twice as much space as last year, and twice as many days, so it should be awesome.
Also this year we're holding a special panel to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Commodore's computer divison. The panel speakers are Chuck Peddle, Bil Herd, Dave Haynie, and Bob Russell.
Details about the VCF will be posted at www.vintage.org. Details about the sponsoring user group are at www.midatlanticretro.org.
Be sure to send any comments, questions or feedback to retrobits@gmail.com.
