BIOS has posted two videos of the Sept. 12-13 Vintage Computer Festival East 6.0. The first is a look at the activities which include an excerpt of the 8static Chip Tune Concert held there, a look around the exhibit hall at the various computers (including Commodore and Amiga), various attendees trying out Shredz64 (Guitar Hero for the C64), an excerpt from Evan Koblentz's talk on Computer Development and the U.S. Army Evans Signal Laboratory, the full presentation given by Bill Degnan on the evolution of local computer clubs in the 1970's and early 1980's, and more. At nearly one hour, this first video, entitled "Vintage Computer Festival East 6.0 (2009)", is at

The second video is the complete Sunday presentation given by David Ahl, editor of Creative Computing magazine, in which he humorously relates the Blunders in Personal Computing of the 1970's and early 1980's. This almost-one-hour video is at

My thanks to Evan Koblentz, VCF East organizer, for his hospitality and thanks to all the other members of MARCH who helped me out and who provided a C64 system with which I demonstrated Toni Westbrook's Shredz64 and the PSX64 adapter.
