What? AHCS at Atlanta Maker Faire (www.makerfaireatl.com)
Where? Large parking lot in Downtown Decatur
When? October 4th and 5th, 2014
Why? To take a trip down memory lane and see some of the computers that started the personal computing revolution. You can also play our SPS (Steam Punked Simon) memory game, or even build your very own to take home. Try to beat the high score. It is harder than it looks!
The Atlanta Historical Computing Society officially returns to the Atlanta Maker Faire. Expect PC boards, expect solder, expect blinky
lights, expect 8bit music and 8 bit graphics.

The eminently popular, simplistically eloquent, Simon game will return
for its 3rd public appearance as it evolves further towards its fusion
of retro gaming and Steam Punk sculpture destiny. There may be other
upgrades if we can get our crack team of Mad Scientists to convince
their case workers to allow them access to the tool shed again.
Also, the retro computer display will soon move from the idea stage to
the planning stage, and then to the world domination stage.
Expect greatness. Expect the unexpected.

The Atlanta Historical Computing Society and the Computer Museum of America are pleased to announce the second annual Vintage Computer Festival Southeast will take place May 3-4, 2014.
The venue will be the same CompUSA store building in Roswell, GA as last year, but this year’s exhibit space will be greatly enlarged, occupying the store’s entire retail space. About 2/3 of the space will be occupied by a museum display of personal computing artifacts from the Kenbak 1 forward. The remaining 1/3 of the retail space will contain hobbyist vintage computing exhibits. For those who missed last year or who would like to see it again, the Apple Pop-Up Museum from last year’s festival will again be available.
The popular retro-gaming area and introduction to soldering activity will be available again. This year, we are also working to bring in a number of vendors, assemble a stellar slate of speakers, and offer workshop experiences. Of course, the kids’ scavenger hunt will be back this year too.
Please visit the VCFSE 2.0 section of vintage.org website for full details on the event!
