VCFMW: The Return!
Hey, everyone!
VCFMW 17 will be held at the Waterford Banquets in Elmhurst, IL on September 10-11, 2022. I will be exhibiting for my second year, with a good portion of my SGI gear. MIPS workstations from the Personal Iris to the Tezro will be on display, as will my Visual Workstation 320 and 550 (not 540!) My Octane will be set up with a CADduo for two-player Quake goodness on a V12 and a V8, I plan to show everyone's lovely faces off on an O2 cam outputting to a PVM, and other miscellaneous goodness, such as active setups of IRIX 3, 4, and 5, in addition to the usual 6.5 fare.
I know that at least a few community members who frequent the SGUG Discord will be in attendance, and it would be great to have as large of a presence of SGI enthusiasts there as we can manage. It's a great time to represent the hobby, talk shop, possibly trade gear, and enjoy yourself in the presence of other like-minded crazy people.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there!

Sounds good Kaigan. Thanks for all you do.
You should download the MOC (check in bounties) and exhibit a music player with a pair of headphones. The Octane is great with that.

That does sound like a good idea! I might have to do it with the Tezro and its Audigy 2, though - the Octane will be pretty busy Quaking.

I listen to music on my Octane all the time, really outstanding sound quality...
