Woah, what?! I didn’t know they had US market Amstrads!

My nearest Micro Center is about an hour away which is perfect, it’s close enough to go if I need something and far enough I don’t go on impulse

Same… it’s going to be interesting

Last Saturday we had another DFW Retro Computing meetup and despite being relatively cold it was an incredible turnout! I brought my mini WeatherRack™️ showing off the WeatherStar XL!

I’m replacing my grass with this, making my house value increase 68040%

My parents have one of these, the original one that’s in this screen grab. It was used all of once a year to chop pecans for a pie we’d make at Christmas.

That M7410 too! 🤩

They’ve got it fixed and it’s showing Queen rooms now

There should be, I’ll message our rep there and see why they aren’t showing up

Today I learned that Eudora was owned by Qualcomm

Got a period correct USB network adapter for the Gateway Astro, now I can read the morning news on Protoweb!

A huge thank you to @museumjoe.bsky.social and @ronscompvids.bsky.social for having the ShadyTel crew, including myself, on Retro Repair Roundup last night! We spent 2 hrs talking telco and how the phone network comes together at a VCF. What a great time!

Weather and Computer Chronicles! Brought my Intellistar out to our DFW retro computer meetup yesterday. #weather #intellistar #computerchronicles

Being the phone nerd that I am I would LOOOVEEEEEE to get here one day!

“You call now.”

“I’ll call now.”

This is so sweet!!!

Awesome! Electronic Discount Sales was a store near me in Dallas, TX. A lot of their branded stuff got out into the market when the Computer Reset liquidation happened.

T’was a great night for sure! VCF after parties are the best!

Just fire everyone and make it the Jim Cantore channel; His voice, all the time! /s

These are just too good

I would love to make a ceefax exhibit for a future VCF. Have it display show information like exhibitors, sessions, etc. #VCF

How fun would it be if we did a consignment at @vcfsw.bsky.social that we used one of these DOS based POS systems like @lgr-yt.bsky.social showed here? Obviously using modern credit card processing though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng-q...

Holy crap, I’m sorry you had to go through all that but glad you’re here! The community is here for you

That Macintosh TV I saw you carrying was offered to me at $1,400 on Friday. People be crazy!

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Another #VCFMW in the books. Until next time Chicago! #VCF #VCFMidwest

AMPS is alive at VCF Midwest! Another way to get billed by ShadyTel. #VCFMW #VCFMidwest
