Heya all, doing the annual display request for the museum hall of the
Midwest Gaming Classic.  Looking for people from the list who
specialize in classic computers to run a display area for their
computer of choice at the show.  I cover the bulk of of the pre-'84
consoles and computers, so it's harder for me to set up as dedicated a
display as somone who specializes.

The MGC is an all encompasing electronic entertainment show (consoles,
computers and coin-ops from past to present).  We hit around 4000
people this past year's show, and are expecting even more growth with
the move closer in to Milwaukee this year (we're at about 30,000 sq.
ft now as well).  Besides the retro crowd, most of our actual
attendance are the casual and family gamers of all ages, so it's a
chance to expose this great hobby to a newer generation.  Currently we
have people coming to support their own Commodore and TI areas.

Here's photos from the show this past March to give everyone a feel
for the show:
