Vintage Tech YouTuber's Discussion Panel | VCFMW 19 (2024)

[@mogwaay]

Just started watching, great lineup, but can I just say Jim Leonard is a fabulous host and compare, excellent at corraling the guests and pitching the questions, an underrated art, bravo!

[@VCFMW]

Thank you! Jim has had some practice with the previous 3 panels, which has helped.

Good evening and thanks for another great VCF! I made it to the convention this year and i must say it was a WAY better experience than last year! I had a lot of fun and even scored a couple monitors to complete my IBM PS/2 set. So excited! I also made a donation to help you guys keep going, thank you so much for putting this on!

[@VCFMW]

Thank you for attending, and also for the donation!

[@vcv6560]

I've attended several of these round tables at VCF the last few years.This was certainly one of the best.The engagement from the audience particularly interesting.

[@ianpolpo]

Great set of questions from Jim Leonard and quite a few interesting ones from the audience, resulting in some wonderful discussion by the panelists!

[@UnixGoldBoy]

Nice clear audio and great panel!

[@VCFMW]

Thank you! We capture the panel, moderator, audience, and Q&A in different tracks so that we can mix them better in post.

[@jmboyd78]

Excellent panel, thank you all!

[@clouddnjshdjdndhd]

Amazing panel!!

Got to VCFSW this year, so cool to see the same faces

I'm too retro to say "gaming". Back in the day we used to "play games" (-:

[@Heike--]

I liked how we just played games. "gamer" wasn't your whole life and whole identity. If you liked Star Trek, that was it. You didn't learn Klingon or have a cosplay wedding where everyone is carrying a batleth.

[@PE4Doers]

It's great to see my 'heart throb' Kate Fox (and her buddy) again 🥰

[@Jimbaloidatron]

Absolutely Paintshop Pro! Me too! 😁

[@MakersEase]

I am rocking a pixel 4 also.. Does everything I need.

[@winstonsmith478]

New "retro" software and hardware should simply be called "neo-retro."

[@crash0317]

That seems to be the new prefix for new old stuff.

[@DrGonzo-1337]

Great panel, but slippery slope on AI. Found it amusing that 8-Bit guy was chastized for taking money away from artists, by a person saying how great it is at doing captions. To heck with transcriptionists, I guess. 🤪

[@vcv6560]

@30 mins. What did we want back in the day? The same thing we want now, everything! 😂

[@misterbungle3251]

Last question guy sounds like John Goodman.

[@andrewdunbar828]

I hear Andy Hu!

[@keyvanmehrbakhsh4069]

I think about the new tech getting homogenized is about somehow the world thought that the idea is equal to danger and the world thought that there would be another thing as living apart from the idea .the common human judgment errors leads to make new stuff boring because they hide the ideas behind them .

a bad case of restless legs syndrome on the left. very annoying couldn't keep watching. nothing personal if course. just get tables next time.

[@r.j.etrogames]

Get some masking tape. Or better yet, literally listen to it as a podcast.

[@RayEttler]

@@r.j.etrogames you don't know right away who's talking if you don't watch

[@VCFMW]

We are indebted to all of our panelists for providing meaningful contributions to the conversation, even if they're not used to public speaking and may be nervous on stage. Also, we intentionally stopped using tables in 2023 because we wanted to promote a more casual, open atmosphere.

[@Okurka.]

Poor audience are forced to look up David's shorts.

[@r.j.etrogames]

@@VCFMW It was an excellent panel, and unlike some I was able to watch the whole thing without complaining.
