Note that this event is independent of DECWORLD 2001, so you are welcome to participate even if you are not attending the Saturday event. We will gather at 7:30PM, Friday, June 15, 2001 at: Mandarin Classic Restaurant 397 Main Street (corner of 1st St.) Los Altos, CA (See directions below.) The price will be $21, not including beverages. Please come prepared to reunite with old friends, as well as share memorabilia, humor, war stories and other legends from the 36-bit era. We will need a firm head count by June 13, so kindly RSVP via e-mail to Clive Dawson: clive.dawson "at" amd.com.
