TRENTON COMPUTER FESTIVAL
=========================
Saturday, April 21 -- Sunday, April 22, 1990
Mercer County College and Trenton State College
On Saturday, April 21, 1990, at Mercer County College, there will be an
all-day 8-Bit (CP/M and Z-System) workshop featuring as speakers the authors
of the most exciting new program offerings of the past two years. Door
prizes will be given out to those who register. If there is enough
interest, we may hold an additional session Sunday morning.
In the evening, at Trenton State College, there will be the annual
banquet, featuring industry luminaries (past speakers have been Bill Gates
of MicroSoft and Seymour Rubenstein of WordStar). The 8-bit community will
also be making a short presentation and giving out additional door prizes at
the banquet (official approval pending).
