We'll also have some
cool guest speakers. Most notably, on Sunday, we have Bill Mauchly.
Bill is the son of ENIAC co-inventor John Mauchly. We also have a
lesser-known engineer named Watts Humphrey, who wrote the proposal for the
military's "MOBIDIC" computer in the 1950s; it was an early example of
client-server architecture. And we've got Claude Kagan, who spent 30 years
at Western Electric and Bell Labs and who worked to get our museum a
first-generation DEC PDP-8 minicomputer.
Tickets for one day
are $10, both days combined are $15, and anyone younger than 18 is free.
Parking's free too.

PS - Just as I spoke at SHOT last year about the hobbyist side
of computer history, it would be beneficial to have someone from this list speak
to our hobbyist audience about academic side of computer history -- how we
hobbyists can help, and how we can learn too. Tom isn't able to make it
that weekend. Unfortunately my other choice was Michael Mahoney.
:( Is anyone else here interested in talking at our
event?
