Curt Vendel Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Atari 400/800 computers, Joe Decuir and I have been going back and forth for a few weeks on doing a celebration. So Joe and I plan to exhibit this year a full Atari 400/800 presentation at Vintage Computer Fest East - http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/this May 3rd through 5th. Joe has also agreed on Sunday to give a formal presentation speech to the show which is a truly wonderful treat for everyone. But in even bigger news, the 400/800 exhibit is going to be just a small part of a HUGE overall group of exhibits from Amiga Bill, Bill Lange, Pete Fletcher, Dean Notarnicola - everyone is going to display represent every era of Atari computers. Also this will be a tribute to Jay Miner as well from Stella to Lorraine. I hope everyone will please spread the news far and wide and many can come and attend, this is going to be a very special event. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitly have to get there this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentarian Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I sure wish I could be there. Curt, if you need some practice prior to the East event, you could join us at VCF Southeast the weekend before!

evank Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It's true! Sounds like everyone in the thread so far already knows me , but just in case for others reading this: I'm the guy who runs Vintage Computer Federation. Joe Decuir is speaking at our Seattle event (VCF Pacific Northwest) next month (March 23-24) AND he's speaking at VCF East too (May 3-4-5). Read all the details about both events at http://www.vcfed.org. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
