Thanks for making me aware of the upcoming Vintage Computer Festival Southwest 2.0, August 6th and 7th in Arlington Texas. I went to the event a year ago and was unsuccessful when searching to find its next occurrence. So I think I would've otherwise missed it.

I came home from the last event with a Mattel Aquarius and that helped kick start my new interest in retro computing. Since then I've added an Atari 800xl and currently searching for an Apple //e or //gs.

Should I feel guilty that I have to travel only six miles to attend?
