Everyone, my little group, the Atlanta Historical Computing Society, has decided to make the leap and organize our first (and hopefully not last) expo.
The tentative schedule is for Saturday, February 9th, from 10 AM - 7 PM. We're planning a Friday night dinner and hang-out, plus an after-show dinner too.
Sure would be nice to get a couple serious Commodore enthusiasts to come out, hint, hint. Anyone near Atlanta? Got airmiles?
Best,
