The CHM, where VCF is held, is located in the heart of Silicon Valley - and 
there are plenty of geeks here who might well attend if they knew it was 
taking place.

I've met a number of techies here in the Valley who know about the Computer 
History Museum - but have never heard of the VCF.  Of course I tell them 
about it - but a few one-on-one encounters will not a crowd make.
