I would've loved to been able to attend one of those.  They were legendary.  The only computer show I've been to was in '78 at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, but what a show!  Everybody was there; Commodore, Apple, Atari, Radio Shack, Cromemco, Processor Technology and lots more.  There were even mini-computer dealers there.  Of course there were software vendors, computer mag reps, peripheral dealers...I was enthralled.  It was there I learned there were computer stores in my area, which I patronized endlessly.

That was a great day.
