A tentative OK is better than no OK.

Further clarification and now a tentative schedule. Bil Herd will speak Saturday from 10:00-11:30 a.m. in what is called at the moment, "Part 2 of the History of CBM", a continuation of Chuck Peddle's video talk given at VCF East a few years ago. Bil will relate CBM stories from 1984 to 1986. Then Bil Herd will watch over (but not necessarily lead) the next session, "Intro to Commodore 8-bit Maintenance", which will run from 11:30-12:30.

Bil Herd will probably be bringing along his newly acquired C116 and talking about that. I managed to get my travel request approved by management so it would be great if some of the others here could make it along!

It is now confirmed; CBM engineer Bil Herd is going to teach the C= repair class at VCF East 2012.
