[game_preservation] Fwd: End of the arcade CRT monitor

[Sean Gugler]

Next weekend in silicon valley is the annual California Extreme
exposition, in Santa Clara CA (July 28-29).  Similar to the one Martin
mentioned, it re-creates the vintage arcade feel with roughly 400
playable video, pinball, and electro-mechanical machines.  Guest
speakers come to talk about the games' history, technology, or design. 
And the owners of the machines are usually around to discuss their
hardware with interested guests.

Visit  http://caextreme.org/  for more info.  (Disclosure: I'm a
volunteer helper.)

Cheers,
          - Sean
