Jason Scott just published a blog post explaining why he won't be attending any more VCF Festivals.
This sounds so egregious that I'm wondering if there's something more to this story.
Among these donations were a set of publications, mostly IEEE-related but with a few other sets of titles, to the Vintage Computer Federation, based in New Jersey. The donation was roughly this:
To make this donation, I paid for the containers, filled them, put many issues in bags, and then rented a truck to drive them the roughly 70 miles to the VCF headquarters in Wall, NJ. There I dropped them off and went home. This was roughly 2017.
A number of years later, I contacted the Vintage Computer Federation to ask how the magazines were doing, if they were part of a project, or if I needed to transfer them elsewhere.
I was told they tossed them out. Every one.
However, I was told, they had decided to keep the plastic boxes, and were making use of them.
