This will be our first year in Chicago after a 4-year run in West
Lafayette. Pat did a great job at Purdue but we're hoping that Chicago
will be an easier destination for more people. We're also presenting
in conjunction with ECCC, a long running show featuring another 6502-
based home computer that always has a strong draw, including a group
of creative hackers from Canada and often Jeri Elsworth and Ben
Heckendorn (no promises, just mentioning them). Chicago Classic
Computers has doubled the ECCC floorspace and we expect to bring in an
additional crowd of friends and exhibitors. Vince Briel has committed
to a homebrew workshop and others are in the works.

Help us make it bigger and better - plan on coming and exhibiting if
possible!
