Vintage Computer Festival Southeast 5.0 Post-show
Hi, everyone and welcome to episode #75 of the Floppy Days Podcast. I’m your host, Randy Kindig. It’s July, 2017, and I have a special episode for you where I cover the VCFSE 5.0 show that took place April 29-30 this year in Roswell, Georgia. When I say I “cover” the show, what I really mean is that I give you a limited perspective of the show from my eyes, as an exhibitor at the event. I will be talking about the exhibit I was a part of, some of the people I met, and purchases or sales that I made. The largest part of this episode, however, are the interviews that I was able to get at the show. They were interesting and fun for me. I hope you enjoy it, and if you were not able to make it to VCFSE this year, please consider attending next year. It’s well worth the effort to get there.
