Subject: Chuck Peddle @ VCF East

Hello Commodore friends ... Just wanted to let you three know that Chuck Peddle confirmed his VCF East 4.0 attendance today. The event will be Saturday, June 9, at our computer museum[http://www.infoage.org] here in New Jersey. We may add Sunday, June 10 as well, but the Commodore panel (30th anniversary of the Pet) will be Saturday starting at 10:30AM. Our location is about one hour south of Newark Liberty airport and about 90 minutes northeast of Philadelphia airport. We'll announce a show hotel when the date gets closer.

PS - let me know if any of you are interested in exhibiting / speaking
at our show.

That is just fantastic news.

He is great guy with a great history. He is one of a small number of people who can say that they invented the PERSONAL computer (as opposed to Steve Jobs and Steve Woz).

If you can get him to speak at the event, it may be worth trip for many.

Update -- VCF East 4.0 will be TWO days instead one this year

We decided to make the event June 9-10, instead of only June 9. Also, in
addition to Chuck Peddle, the special 30th bday panel [Saturday] for
Commodore's computer division will include Bil Herd, Bob Russell, and
Dave Haynie.

Event sponsored by MARCH (http://www.midatlanticretro.org) at the InfoAge Science Center (http://www.infoage.org) in Wall, N.J.

Just received a message from Bil Herd. He wrote that he wants to see what he "can drag along in the way of hardware...".

Maybe like rare CBM hardware?!!!

Just 2 weekends to go before this exciting event. I have to gather my things for them to autograph. Hmm, PET 2001 keyboard... what else?

According to Evan, Chuck Peddle now will not attend due to work in Sri Lanka. Chuck will video-conference into the show.
