Description

MARCH is a non-profit computer user group. Our focus is the 1940s to 1980s. Our members are spread out from Hartford to Pittsburgh to Washington D.C., everywhere between, and some beyond. We operate a bricks-and-mortar computer museum in Wall, N.J. at a former Marconi lab / Army Signal Corps base that is now the InfoAge Science Center (map) and which has a rich history in computer development. We host the annual Vintage Computer Festival East. The group formed in fall 2004. Our mission is to collect and preserve vintage computers; to educate and inspire; and to have fun! We strive to restore vintage computers to working condition as much as possible. There are not organized meetings or a printed newsletter -- our communications and updates are via the message board in this Yahoo group and on Facebook. However we often gather for exhibits, parties, tech days, swap meets, etc. After signing up for our group, please send a "Hello world" message to introduce yourself to us. Got questions or comments? Email president Evan Koblentz: evan-at-snarc-dot-net.

Note: MARCH does not have dues. We prefer the shareware analogy: we're cost-free, but if you like what we do, then please help with our continued fundraising. Our recommended donation is $20 per year, although we're grateful for every penny. Click here to contribute..
