I'll say it again.
For those of you who almost never attend shows, this one is well worth
getting to, its a blast. The retro section is filled with leading lights
from around the country who still use old computers by choice (like us) and
have a huge amount of knowledge on this - Myself and steve reyal went last
year, and it was great. I got some advice on spectrums and ZX81's from a
guy I met there, got some PC bits n' bobs stuff in the main part of the
show at bargain prices (particularly CF cards, which where selling for £20
cheaper than anywhere else at the time) and chatting with D&D and Alex
Wells the rest of the time.
Really - it has something for everyone.
I really wish I could get over now............. :-((

Hi folks,
This adds some details to the recent notes from John Gilpin and Darren:
The Micro Mart computer fair will be held on Sunday 30th November 2003,
10am thru 5pm, in Hall 17 of the Birmingham NEC. It will include a
'Retro' section where Acorn, Amiga, Apple, Atari, Commodore, Vic20,
Sinclairs etc. will be running what is described as 'classic software'
- this includes games.
Your favorite operating systems (SmSQ and QDos) will also be present,
running on a QL, 2 or 3 SGC-Auroras, my Q-40, and a Q-60, if D&D are
able to appear. John Gilpin and I will run the other machines. Sarah
will 'man' the Quanta stand. For the broad-minded, Linux will be
visible on request.
Our only 'Retro' activity will be genuine computation, if my 'black box'
can be persuaded to produce the circumstances of the transit of Venus
across the Sun in 1769. This event was seen by Captain Cook near Tahiti
in that year, while testing chronometers.
We hope lots of you will come by and support us.
The venue may be found at www.multimap.co.uk by entering the postal code
B40 1NT. The Multi-Map web site may also give you directions from your
address. I believe further information about the event may also be
found on Micro Mart's home page at www.micromart.co.uk, or at
www.necgroup.co.uk/visitor/thenec/
