This beat up Dell Dimension 8400 is still good where it counts, and after a fresh install will be in fighting shape again. Hoping we can find someone who will love it at our next library show in Verona Wisconsin this Saturday, 9.5.26!

My Mac Classic II. I picked this up about two years ago and did a full recap #mac #macintosh #retrocomputing

For #Septandy I tracked down an old Radio Shack Armatron 🤖 One of my favorite 80s memories. And yes, I had to repair it before I could play! 🎥 New video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG65...

I hooked up my Saturn to the CRT in my bedroom, going to start going through the various Shining games on it again.

If you're in the Madison area this Saturday, swing by Verona to see all the retro gear the WCC members are working on! As it's #SepTandy, we'll have plenty of Tandy gear out this time too. Then we hope to see you all at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest! 🥳

Oh yeah, new video out today! You might think the only vintage and retro computer events are big shows like VCF Midwest. But did you know there might be cool computer meetups right in your backyard? Join me as I attend a local vintage computer meetup to see why small events can pack a big punch.

DOOM really does run on anything.

This machine is cursed! Can anyone here help make it right again?

Absolute long shot here. This cursed Packard Bell Platinum 2240 will not boot any version of the recovery media. Tried at least 6 CDROM drives too. Does ANYONE have a working Windows 95 or 98 hard drive image with all the necessary drivers installed? 🙏🏻 #VCFMW

Sorting through some stuff I've not touched since I moved house (and for many years before that) , and came across this Zenith laptop. It booted first time after resetting the clock in the BIOS. Suse 6.2 on a Cryix Cx486SLC with 8Mb ram !

It was a good time in Janesville! Looking forward to heading back there this winter!
