Per Evan Koblanz of the Mid-Atlantic Retrocomputing Hobbyists (MARCH), the 2012 edition of the Vintage Computer Festival East (“8.0″) will be held on May 5-6 at the InfoAge Science Center in Wall, New Jersey. Keynote speakers will include Thomas Kurtz, who helped invent the BASIC language at Dartmouth in 1964, and Dan Kottke, Apple Computer employee #12. An early friend of Steve Jobs, Kottke helped with Apple’s early products, including the Apple-1, the Apple II, the Apple III, and the Macintosh.
