[ale] Vintage Computer Festival Southeast 2.0 - May 3 & 4

[Jim Kinney]

Several ALErs went last year and had a great time. Thanks for the heads up
on this. I hope to attend this year. Sounds fun
!

Aaron should take some of his Amigas. I'm not sure if my NEC Starlett
laptop (c. 1981) still works. It ran CPM from ROM chips and included a
screaming fast 1200B modem built in. Some one paid a ton for it brand new.

James P. Kinney III

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
