Charlotte Apple Computer Club

Posted on by Jeffrey Brace Category: Uncategorized

The Charlotte Apple Computer Club decided to dissolve in December 2024 and, in doing so, chose to support other organizations dedicated to helping people with their remaining funds. They provided the Vintage Computer Federation with a donation of more than $400.00 as a part of this effort.

We would like to thank the CACC for their generosity. The VCF will use these funds to further our shared mission.

CACC was founded in 1978 by a group of enthusiastic Apple ][ users who wanted to share their passion for this unique computer.

By 1983 they had incorporated and, over time, they expanded their support to other Apple products and operating systems including the Macintosh and all versions of MacOS. “Everybody involved in CACC shares common interests, including a desire to learn more about personal computing and to help others along the way.” (https://www.charlotteappleclub.org/About/about.html)

VCF West Deadlines!

Posted on by Erik Klein Category: Events, Vintage Computer Festival, West

A quick reminder that VCF West is August 2nd and 3rd at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

In order to get everything organized before the event we have to shut down exhibit registration and speaker signups by the July 4th weekend. This year that means that the last day to sign up to exhibit or to volunteer to speak is July 7th!

Speaking of volunteers, we’re always looking for a few more. So if you have time, energy and, maybe, muscle to spare for us, shoot me a note!

VCF West 2024 Exhibitors!

Posted on by Jeffrey Brace Category: Events, West

Hello folks,

We’re less than a month away from shutting down exhibit and speaker registrations for VCF West.
The July 4th weekend represents the end of both so I can use the rest of July to get the program built, get the floorplan finalized, create schedules, etc.
So if you’ve been waiting to get your exhibit or talk registered, wait no more! We still have room for both, but I can’t promise that will last all the way until July!
This year’s show is already shaping up to be a great one so you don’t want to miss it!
Attendee ticketing information and pre-orders will be posted soon.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns or -especially- if you would like to volunteer to help with the show, please let me know at this email address.
Thank you!
Erik Klein
