Hello!
Indeed. I got there in time for your "How to wrap a computer for
mailing" session.. And naturally by the time you were looking for me,
I had managed to reach the point where I'd implode if I didn't return
here.
Then when you returned, they'd moved those events to the Friday, and I
was able to properly explore things. Where you are? RSN. As for Erik
building via Slackware, I am pleased. I also arranged that.
Now that I think about it, that sound it made was the teletypewriter
responding.......

The 11/70? Yes, that's the one that I had at VCF-E.
Amusingly, I remember meeting you, you had introduced yourself as
Gregg, but I had not made the connection that you were THE Gregg until a
few hours later, when I couldn't find you! ;)
I do hope you can come out to visit someday.

Hello!
Yikes! I believe that's the system that made a rude noise at me the
day we met, and VCF that year. No not the crowd I hung around with,
and of course yourself, but wow. I'll be there someday.
