Last weekend was VCF east 7.0. I spent the weekend among other vintage computer nuts. It was a great time, and I highly recommend going out of your way to spend the weekend, next time this event is held. This event can not be fully appreciated unless you take the time to listen to the lectures, and see the museums that comprise the info-age facility.
Among the highlights was seeing part of an Apollo Guidance Computer, something I studied last year. I was thinking of doing some kind of recreation at one point.

Here is my exhibit, where I showed the Mimeo, A2 rev 0, brain board and PS/2 keyboard adapter. My exhibit won the gold medal in the preservation/recreation catagory.

It was great to meet you. Mike! You had a great display, and those are gorgeous posters. It must’ve cost a small fortune to have them printed and framed.
Hi Ken,
It was nice to meet you, too.
2′ by 3′ posters are printed for about $20 each at winkflash.com.
I got lucky and found the poster frames during a 2 for 1 deal at Michael art and craft store – around $30 for both.
