[geeks] VCF Midwest: 6502 Badges!

[Lionel Peterson]

Just ordered mine, sad that I won't be able to attend, but the badge was too
clever not to order one... it's a 65C02-based computer with a serial console
and an on-board BASIC in ROM that can be programmed via serial console, much
like an early computer from the 70s.

Thanks for the heads-up!
