Re: Tim Paterson / QDOS lecture @ VCF West next weekend
I wonder whether Evan could get Tim Paterson to agree to VCF selling autographed copies? Sorry, we would have had to plan that well in advance. Presumably he'll be glad to autograph whatever people bring with them.
Re: Tim Paterson / QDOS lecture @ VCF West next weekend
I agree, Evan, I don???t think he???s ever given a speech or lecture like this, and if he has, it either was very long ago or not advertised well :-). Closest that I'm aware of was an article in Dr. Dobb's? 35 years ago, about design decisions. On Sun, 29 Jul 2018, Richard Cini wrote: Yes, that???s the last article I remember as well. 1982 I think.

Yes, that’s the last article I remember as well. 1982 I think. Have it somewhere here.

I’m looking forward to seeing the video especially given the work I did in making a Gazelle of my own.
