Show and tell, browse, discuss vintage computers

Hello All,

It's time to start planning for the next DFW Retrocomputing meetup. The Spring Retrocomputing Meetup of 2024 will be on April 20, brought to you by the DFW Retrocomputing Meetup group and the Vintage Computing Collective of North Texas.

Our meetup will be at the same location as the last one, Bingo Bingo in Grand Prairie. The overall response to this location has been positive, so we are returning. The venue is centrally located in the DFW metroplex and much larger than the space we had at the DMS, with better air conditioning. There will be ample parking, tons of space, and plenty of tables and electrical hookups.

The meetup will begin at 12:00 pm and end at 4:00 pm.

The new venue will have a concession stand with a selection of comfort food, so plan to eat lunch there.

We're excited to announce that Mouser is again generously sponsoring our spring meetup. They'll have a table showcasing some modern retrocomputers, plus some nifty swag. Make sure to swing by and check it out!

We encourage you to bring something for show and tell. It could be a new addition to your collection or a favorite system you've showcased before. Don't be shy – we love seeing the unique treasures our community has to offer. And if you're not quite ready to exhibit, no worries--just bring yourself and your passion for retrocomputing.

As on prior meetups, you are welcome to bring your items for swap, sale, or givaway. However, you must ensure that all items are removed from the venue at the end of the meetup. We cannot leave behind boxes of donation items.

No talk is scheduled for this meetup (so far). Once we are more familiar with the new venue, we plan to resume the talks.

You are welcome (and encouraged) to bring your family. If you bring young children, please keep an eye on them.

I look forward to seeing all of you there!

Dave
