Re: Retro shows and Sam's 25th birthday

No quite Stefan I also live in Germany (near Köln) and have had a sam 
since the very beginning. I now have two, though these days I usually 
use the emulator.

How much does it cost to book a venue anyway? We could just organise 
one ourselves.

I too would be interested.
SAM was a huge part of my childhood and kept me out of mischief :-)

Hi,

I guess the Sam's 25th birthday is coming up this year.

I was wondering anybody regularly goes to any of the retro
computer shows which happen from time to time, and whether there
would be any interest from sam-users generally to meet up at one
of them? If there's a good one towards the end of the year we
could perhaps arrange a few Sam related stands, and 'adopt' it as
a Sam's 25th anniversary event?

How is Germany for foreigners?

Maybe what we should do is contact someone like the Museum of Computing, which 
obviously isn’t a conference space but often hosts lectures, suggest that the 
Sam is an interesting topic and ask if we can use whatever they have as lecture 
space for an evening? Maybe I’m aiming too high but it’s surely an interesting 
story even for an outsider: what employees of Sinclair did next, how the 
British computer industry ran out of steam? Then if we happen to combine that 
with a detailed discussion of the software and so on, so be it?
