Announcing DEC Legacy 2013, October 19th/20th, Marchesi Centre, Windermere

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

With Johnny's gracious permission: DEC Legacy is back! To be held on October 19th and 20th 2013 at the usual venue, The Marchesi Centre, in Windermere, Cumbria, UK. More details on the website: http://declegacy.org.uk Registration is now open, please follow the Registration tab at the top of the page. Last time the event was opened to anyone with an interest in the highlights of 20th Century computer technology - this provided an interesting mix of hardware from a variety of manufacturers. I would like to continue the event in this vein. So if you own interesting hardware, whatever the origin, we would love to see you at the event. There will hopefully be a couple keynote speakers this time as well, to be announced. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who might have an interest. I look forward to catching up with familiar faces and making some new acquaintances. Regards, Mark.
