The 12th annual Trenton Computer Festival will occur on April 11 and 12, 1987, on the campus of Trenton State College, Trenton, NJ. (Actually, Trenton State is located in Ewing Township, a lovely residential suburb of Trenton, and not in the city itself.) Last year, we had over 17,000 people who attended the 11th anniversary of the original personal computer show. TCF is the largest non-commercial show of this kind in the country. It is run by volunteers from Trenton State College, Mercer County College, Amateur Computer Group of NJ, Philadelphia Area Computer Society, Central Jersey Computer Club, Princeton section of the IEEE Computer Society/ACM, NY Amateur Computer Club, and Philadelphia Heath users Group. There are over 100 speakers scheduled to speak on a great variety of topics. Additionally, there will be special conferences on packet radio, public domain software, education, business applications, and computers for the handicappped. TCF sponsors an essay contest for junior and senior high schoolers. First prize is a computer system! The computer graphics theater features movies and videos showing applications of the latest and most interesting applications of graphics. The games contest lets kids get their hands on and win prizes. The telecommunications area lets grown ups sample commercial information services at no charge. And there are door prizes awarded by drawings throught both days. Saturday evening features the TCF banquet with a nationally known speaker. Last year, we had Bill Machrone speak. Send $15 per banquet ticket to TCF '87 School of Technology Trenton State College Hillwood Lakes CN 4700 Trenton, NJ 08650-4700 Attn: Ms. Marilyn Hughes (609) 771-2487 Free parking. Admission is $7.00 for both days, available at the door only.

The festival was created by the ACGNJ, and they intend that it retain the "TCF" name. To all: calling TSC is a thankless task; they have but one secretary for that phone, and when she's not there, no one picks up. Someone will probably post the schedule of events here, sometime soon. -- Peter Holsberg UUCP: {rutgers!}princeton!mccc!pjh Technology Division CompuServe: 70240,334 Mercer College GEnie: PJHOLSBERG Trenton, NJ 08690 Voice: 1-609-586-4800

Too many other things going on back home. I'd have to take a day off for the drive from here to Trenton. Here is Columbus, Ohio. Do avoid the swordfish at Beefsteak Charlie's on US 1. Everything else is OK. Also, You'd damn well better reserve a room NOW! Also, avoid the first pizza shop on Route 31 south of the college. The've consistently screwed up our orders. -- Jim Prior {ihnp4|osu-cis}!n8emr!oink!jep jep@oink.UUCP
