This years event was lots of fun! I definitely enjoyed playing Q2 on the v3 box. That brought back all sorts of nostalgia for me lol. I also enjoyed talking to Lewis who had an extensive laser disk table. That was really cool and his player that read like 6 different disk type and sizes was impressive. He had some really cool Japanese import Ldisks. I had no idea that when the laser disk format was first released that it had digital sound but analog video. I also enjoyed the functional greaseweazle table. That is really cool. It will be very cool to see how his design evolves.
This was my oldests (9y/o) first “retro computer” get together and he had a blast - it certainly helped walking away with a Pentium3 box with w98/Duke Nukem! He has been learning strategies to work with his ADHD and I haven’t seen him stay that laser focused on one task that long (2+ hours?) in quite some time
He was just now asking me where he could set up his new computer, so I’m excited for him. Thank you again for the generosity.
I myself ran into a gentleman who had an extra bluescsi 1 kit, so I am excited to put that together and see what I can do with it.
Again, we had a blast. It was great fun. I am looking forward to October. What is the registration process for getting a table to demo some machines?

Atari+Greaseweazle+Lewis and his laser disk table.
I totally forgot to get a pic of the Macintosh plus running my favorite text adventure ZORK1. That was very cool as was the graphite clamshell running DOOM and the g1 iPod. Very cool
GO TEAM RANGER!!
