[@SteveMaves]

Sorry I'm missing out this year, thanks for sharing your video of the event!

[@computerhobbyists3070]

You're welcome! I hope you can make it next year!

[@ForgottenMachines]

Thanks for the coverage of my table at 6:51 , great video, I love the commentary! Awesome!

[@computerhobbyists3070]

You're welcome!

[@CarnorJast1138]

Oh man, do I want those Atari ST's SO badly! LOVED my ST when I had it back in the late 80's! Fantastic computer! And of all the computers I have owned since 1982, the Atari ST is the one I miss the most!

[@computerhobbyists3070]

Another good thing about Atari ST's is they are much easier to find on the used market in the United States than Amigas.

[@CarnorJast1138]

@@computerhobbyists3070 I have been looking, and I am getting pretty close to pulling the trigger on one or two of them. What an incredible computer!

[@richardthunderbay8364]

I saw a number of computers in the video that could tell the story of my life. The one I miss the most is the SGI Indigo^2 that sat on my desk at work 25 years ago. That was a fantastic machine.

[@alerey4363]

people taking pictures with their $500 mobile phones that have like 10x times the computing power of those massive risc-unix-based SGIs that were sold for $50,000+ back in the 90s.We've come a looooong way

[@earthsteward70]

11:15 that is beautiful! The darling computer is fully cased and ready.

[@computerhobbyists3070]

I can't wait until they start selling them. Right now I'm using the Commander X16 emulator.

[@damian9303]

Almost forgotten about Ben Heck, miss the old show he had with Element14 still remember the episodes he made of that elusive Playstation SNES add-on that he helped repair back to functional order. Lot of other great retro tech tubers here, many that I've watched for years, glad to see them all organizing an event together and I wish I was in the area to of gone over there. Love the overview of the festival and I'm interested in seeing which others you attend in the future c:

[@computerhobbyists3070]

Thanks!

[@bilko991]

I owned that model of printer at 0:24 seeing it brings back a lot of very loud memories!

[@amplifier28]

Great vid. So much retro tech!

[@computerhobbyists3070]

Thanks!

[@SomeOrangeCat]

Clint AND 8-bit Guy? The naughty fanfics write themselves!

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

14:23 Sinclair QL, a 68008 based machine with a funky high speed tape drive instead of disks.

[@mcd3379]

Interesting stuff. Looks like all the main Retro Dudes were there!! :)

[@SellamAbraham]

Thanks for the walk-through.

[@douro20]

That Mera 7951 OM is a Polish-made intelligent terminal which is based on the design of the Entrex terminal next to it. The "Mera-Snake" game is being served by a Pi Pico.

[@midbc1midbc199]

Cool to see Clint there

[@arbutuswatcher]

Saw most of my garage & basement in this video. Time for Computer Reset North!

[@wisconsincomputerclub4668]

It was a very good time!

[@kirkanos3968]

[@computerhobbyists3070]

You're welcome!

[@cjripka6752]

Thanks for sharing. I wanted to attend this year, but it did not work out.

[@computerhobbyists3070]

You're welcome!

[@Skyrilla]

''Back when I was in my 20s'' lol... I was just a tiny bab when most of this stuff came out. Wish I was there... what a show!

[@marccaselle8108]

This looks like so much fun! I wish I would have known about this and had the money to fly there. 🙂

[@douro20]

Does the hard disk work in that Kaypro 10? I see some military stuff at 4:53...

[@gmirwin]

I didn't think there'd be a display of phones. I have a few vintage phones, myself.

[@BilalHeuser1]

So, Do they have a computer festival in the southeast? I live near Memphis, TN and would love to attend if there was one my region of the country!

[@computerhobbyists3070]

Yes, they do. vcfed.org/events/otherevents/vintage-computer-festival-southeast/

[@Wythaneye]

If Quake is considered "vintage", I guess that makes me older than I'm willing to admit.

[@PicaDelphon]

Well it looks like almost a packed event...

[@opp31337]

wish i coulda went, i only live like 60 miles away... is it in the same place/general area each year?

[@computerhobbyists3070]

Yes, it’s always at Waterford Banquets in Elmhurst.

[@gregofflorida8188]

@13:46 Video skipped the best part of the show.

[@johanlaurasia]

I'm sure I saw you there as was I.... lol

[@kousakasan7882]

Funny, I have a few of those in my closet....

[@earthsteward70]

God even I remember E machines and I am 22, a gateway pentium III .

[@soteful9949]

Maybe try doing commentary over your footage. This was just random shots of old computer stuff. Dime a dozen on KZbin.

[@MatInside10481]

[@stormshadow5555]

This event should be more centrally located in the U.S. I nominate the state of Kansas, maybe even Kansas City.
