End of Summer SoCal events

Over in the PS/2 hardware newsgroup a notion is brewing to have some kind
of a meeting for people in the SoCal area. Since I am one of those stiring
it up, I thought it might make a good event for any classic computer list
people in the area to attend as well. Pardon me for being lazy but below is
exactly what I posted to the newsgroup.


I live in the city of Orange, but visit a few places down by the beach,
OCC swapmeet etc. I am fairly motivated for a local meeting too. To kick
something off I have posted this with a new subject back to the newsgroup
as well as emailed it to you.

Unless you just want to declare to the world that you too are a proud
SoCaler, don't post back to the newsgroup, send me an email instead. I'll
collect up the names and email addresses and make a SoCal PS/2 address
list and email everybody back in about a week and we can privately sort
out a good meeting time and place. Once we have time and place, we can
announce that back to the newsgroup and pick up the stragglers a week or
so before the meeting happens.

My favorite meeting format is;

Mini swapmeet with tables etc. to do some trading etc.
Some sort of techy "meeting", like a Linux install maybe
Some sort of food/drink
A couple systems setup to make floppies or CDs nonstop. ;)

Rough time frame, end of summer before school gets really going hard.

Location; anyplace in SoCal is OK with me, closer to Orange is nice, but a
good vendor with a nice parking lot is worth the drive.

Unless I get a strong objection I think the meeting should be open to any
old computer collectors/users and plan to post this message to the classic
computer list.
