For those of you still reading:

	    B.C.'s longest-running personal computing event, 

	     the PACIFIC COAST COMPUTER FAIR AND SWAP MEET 

	 	is back once again, for its 17th year!

Time and date:	Saturday, 19 Oct, 10am to 4pm
Location:	McPherson Centre, 7325 MacPherson Ave., Burnaby
		(near Metrotown, south of Kingsway and east of Royal Oak)
Admission:	Only $3.00 (no coupons required!)

The swap meet portion of the Fair will consist of 50 to 60 vendors with a total
of about 80 tables.  Vendors will be selling new and used computer equipment,
ranging from the latest technology to "I remember when..." technology.  On the 
software side, there will be CD-ROMs, shareware, and assorted applications 
and games for various makes of computers.  Also present will be companies 
offering computer-related services.

Several local computer user groups will also be putting on displays.  These
can be a great source of (mostly) unbiased information.  Find out from actual
users what they think of hardware, software, or services.

There will be door prize draws.  Food and beverages are available on-site.

The Fair is run by the Pacific Coast Computer Fair Association (PCCFA), a 
non-profit society of volunteers drawn from the local personal computing 
community. It is in no way associated with any of the commercially-run 
computer swap meets being operated in British Columbia.

Vendor tables are available at $45 each if paid prior to Sept. 30th and 
$60 each thereafter.  To reserve your table(s), call 604-420-3286.

Our web site is "www.pccfa.org".  It is a work in progress, but we hope to 
shortly have current information on the vendors attending and the door prizes
to be given away, plus some background on the PCCFA.

Remember, we only run a single Fair each year, so if you miss this one you'll 
have to wait a whole twelve months!
