I had a lot of fun. I sat thru three presentations. The first one was a presentation called <i>The Future of Pinball<\/i>. I thought it was a odd title for a presentation at the Vintage Computer festival. But a few minutes into the movie I realized that the documentary was about a product of Williams Pinball called Pinball 2000 which was suppose to take pinball into the 21st century. Overall I give the movie a thumbs up. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefutureofpinball.com\/\">producer<\/a> is looking for a television deal and will produce DVDs soon after.<\/p>\n<p>Next I watched the Homebrew Computer Club 30th anniversary retrospective. It consisted of a panel of former members. The only celebrity was Steve Wozniak. Woz told a funny joke. People spoke of what the club exterience was like. Overall, a lot of fun. I was glad it ran long.<\/p>\n<p>Then I watched Sellam Ismail&#8217;s Q&amp;A\/Show &amp; Tell session. He was entertaining as usual.<\/p>\n<p>After that I went thru the Computer History Museum&#8217;s Computer Chess exhibit. A very nice display of artifacts, plus multimedia explanations of everything. Here is what really caught my eye:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image52\" src=\"http:\/\/tlindner.macmess.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/computerchess.jpg\" alt=\"computerchess.jpg\" \/>\n<p>I noticed the Color Computer ROM Pak of Chess produced by Radio Shack. It was nice to see my favorite computer represented in such an exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>Then I wandered upstairs to view the exhibits. The only thing that really caught my eye was the TTL CPU. That really geeked me out. He had a wonderful LED display of the current internal state of the CPU \u2014 a real blur of flashing lights.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I went to VCF 8.0.
