Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:

How do you know who won in advance? Unless you mean "take pre-orders" for 
the calendars...

I might be able to cheapen the process - I have most everything necessary 
to put out a decent (tho not _extravagant_) calendar: Nikon D70 digital 
SLR, color laser printer (for the cheaper pages), dye-sublimation printer 
for the glossy coversheet(s), and a comb-binder to put 'er all together. If 
you really needed a hole to hang it from, I just happen to have a drill 
press, too. ;-)

Granted, it just got a whole lot more expensive by someone needing to 
subsidize my travel costs (read: airfare) to any VCF not within driving 
range...

*That* would be way outta my league...

Encourage away, but if I can't afford to go, then it's all moot... ;-)

[[ Yea, *technically* the stuff could be emailed to me, but where's the fun 
in that??? ;^> ]]
