This thread needs to die gracefully. Stop responding to it. This has
nothing to do with VCF SoCal. At least change the subject of you're going
to respond.

Please stop hijacking threads with misleading subject headings. Have some
respect for the list.

Don't even respond to this. Just delete.

Wasn't the Amiga OS built on Tripos?

It was. The name came from the fact that a course at Cambridge
University is called a Tripos. Originally written by Martin Richards
(as in BCPL)

The oldest version I know of ran on PDP11s. I am pretty sure there was
a 68000 version at one point too.

If i'm not wrong it was a OS developed in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire).

Did someone port it to other arch than ARM ?

I have been to around 10 VCFs, but not since VCF West XI in 2016.  I drove down 
on Sunday morning and enjoyed it.  There were some very interesting exhibits, 
many of which were video game/console or adjacent (e.g., Commodore SX-64) 
oriented.  There was some great emulation work on display as well.  Of note was 
what was not there.  No IBM, no HP, no S-100, almost no big iron (a static Data 
General machine was the exception), and almost nothing pre-1980.  The facility 
was quite nice, including the presentation room.  The consignment table looked 
pretty picked over by the time I got to it. There was a guy in the consignment 
area with a small table selling comic books and he also had some Funkos.  I 
wish I had actually known about the show prior to two weeks before so I could 
have at least thought about putting together an exhibit.  Hopefully the show 
will continue!

Thanks Sellam.

Tickets can be purchased at the door. I’m sorry they’re having trouble. We’ve 
got a constant stream of ticket purchases coming through. Perhaps try another 
browser or on their mobile?

I was able to make it, and the weather turned out very fair.

Here is my summary review of the two days.Sorry about the ticket issue
- I was able to get an online ticket the day before the event without issue.
