VCF Security

Michael,

I'll weigh in on this as well. I've been to two VCFs and had no problems.
And, if anyone WOULD have a security problem, it would be me: I collect vintage
handhelds and PDAs which are a heck of a lot easier to steal than someone's
Altair or DEC box. I do take precautions when I want to look around the
exhibit hall or attend a lecture -- for example, I set up my booth as late as
possible before the doors open to the public, to minimize the time when my
stuff is just sitting around; I always ask a nearby exhibitor to keep watch if
I'm going away for food or to the bathroom or wherever; and as my collection
grows, I'm transitioning from using cardboard boxes and suitcases to using
professional / lockable display cases. But I digress... VCF is a super-safe
event and we all look out for each other.
