Two announcements for upcoming events!
First, I'll be at #Teardown2026 next week. And in a turn of events that still feels bizarre to me now, I will be doing a short talk on making a game for the Apricot. https://www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/portland-2026/short-talk/how-to-make-a-game-for-the-apricot-pc (the Apricot itself will not be making an appearance as I don't know how I would safely transport it such a distance)
Second, I will have a table at #VCFMW in September, where I will again be showing off the Apricot as well as selling Amiga video adapters and converted mice. There will also be cool stickers. I am really hoping I will be able to demo the MFM emulator, too, but we'll see!

My #VCFSW post. Really enjoyed the show and I look forward to seeing how this #retrocomputing event grows. #VCFMW is next on the list and this year we’re making it a full weekend.

@PastaThief I've gone to #VCFMW for a few years. On the whole it tends to be very welcoming, with the caveat that many, if not most of us in the community are in the same asocial boat. Starting a conversation can be difficult, but what brings us all is a passion for this stuff (which can sometimes be a bit overwhelming). There are a few who need to demonstrate geek cred at any opportunity, but most people are happy to find *anyone* else to chat about their hobby with.

@tschak I'm your target (my platforms are TRS-80 CoCo II and DOS) and I've seen #FujiNet at many #VCFMW shows, which I travel to attend. Maybe it would help to know why I haven't adopted it?
First, I didn't know it supposed DOS and CoCo. Actually, I still don't. Neither are listed at https://fujinet.online/purchase/ . The CoCo link at https://fujinet.online/wiki/?p=Toplevel-Hardware is broken. I found https://fujinet.online/tandy-color-computer/ but it requires me to build a bunch of stuff myself, which I don't have time for right now. 1/

I picked up a brown $5 Macintosh IIsi at #VCFMW. It had some battery and capacitor leakage / corrosion. The electronics have been through the citric acid ultrasonic bath, so let's see how things have cleaned up and if we can get it to boot. Saturday noon eastern. #vintagemac https://youtube.com/live/blxlf4IyNyA?feature=share
