Vintage Computer Festival East 6.0: Retro Computing Heaven
I was lucky that my good friend Christian Liendo got quite a few photos of the Vintage Computer Festival East 6.0 which took place this past weekend. Shown above is a young lady trying out Guitar Hero on a Commodore 64! Below is a collection of just a few of the vintage computers and related paraphernalia that was on display:
This is a replica of the the inside of an Apple I computer, there are maybe only 50 real versions of this at most left in the wild.
