Vintage Computer Festival 2005 vintage computer photo calendar. Co-produced by VCF Founder Sellam Ismail and VCF Europa Founder Hans Franke, this beautiful calendar features twelve gorgeous large format photos of rare machines that vintage computing enthusiasts around the world can appreciate. As the calendar states in the background information on the inside cover page, "...[W]e decided not to go for the obvious choices such as the Altair 8800, Commodore PET, Apple-1, etc. Rather, we selected truly unusual machines .... computer models from all over the world, including computers that were never produced or exported out of their country of origin. Thus, the 12 machines depicted represent 10 different countries."
Each month features a different computer with the days of the month displayed underneath. The back side of the page includes historical information and technical specifications for that computer written in both German and English. Measures 16.5" x 12" (30.5cm x 41.5cm, A3 format). Spiral bound with a sturdy rod inserted into the spirals for hanging. All calendars are new-old stock with a price sticker on the front cover that can be peeled off with patience.
