Here is the latest word on the Trenton Computer Festival taking place
this weekend in Trenton, NJ. We hope to see lots of CP/M and Z-System
people at the all-day conference on Saturday.

April 14, 1990: TRENTON2.MSG
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. With so many of the activists
in 8-bit computing coming to the show, I am pretty sure we will hold some
activities on Sunday morning as well.
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 featured guest this
year is David House, one of the leaders of Intel. The 8-bit community will
also be making a short presentation and giving out additional door prizes at
the banquet (official approval no longer pending; it was granted today).
The program as published is shown below. With all the new people coming,
we may break up some of the slots so that we can accommodate some additional
short talks. Information about getting to the festival has appeared in other
