Vintage Computer Festival 7.0 Pictures

Posted November 10, 2004 03:26 | Category: Commodore | #

This past weekend I attended the Vintage Computer Festival 7.0, held at the Computer History Museum here in Mountain View, CA. I was there as part of the Fresno Commodore User Group, the last remaining Commodore User Group in California. We had a bunch of Commodore equipment, past and present, on display (inlcuding the new C64 DTV Joystick). Here are my pictures from the event:

That Jeri looks pretty slim there as she demonstrates the C64 DTV joystick, it could be the salad she's eating (on the 1084 monitor) or it could be the ass-kicking she gets playing pinball.

Yes, Jeri was quite the center of attention, but not just for her electronics work. In fact I felt bad for her, watching the way some of the guys were looking at her...

Jeri is brilliant, young, attractive, and soon to be rich! (I hope for her!) She's bound to attract all kinds of attention. - A great follow up would be to sell a kit (with all the connectors and how-to's) to make "hacking" the unit easy and neat. Maybe.... USB so we can hook up a standard flash drive and run D64's (or even PRG of P00's). I intend to modify mine, I've still got the old X1541 cable I made and 1541 drive I used to transfer all my stuff tp my PC (years ago). Hopefully, my drive will still be in working order. - Anyway, CHEERS! to Jeri! She's given *this* old Commodore user a real treat!
