Back at the VCF making good on my threat to give them stuff!

VCF2025 Modded Macintoshes

As the Vintage Computer Festival Socal jumps back into action, I make good on my promise to bring a car full of ancient equipment.  All free to a good home.  As usual there were amazing systems from every era running and in beautiful shape.  I even saw a man in an SGI kimono!

UPDATE: another carload including X10 automation and lots of original software in boxes. also, a pile of network gear!

My visit to the Vintage Computer Festival SoCal

There were so many incredible computers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s!  Beautiful computers that might have just been taken out of the box.  I got to play with an Amiga 4000 with a Video Toaster! (My dream box from the 90s)  I used a Commodore Pet that is older than i am. Some of my favorite stuff is modern boards that work with the vintage computers like micro SD floppy drives and Wi-Fi modems.
