Got my copy of Hackers signed by Lee Felsenstein at the Vintage Computer Festival! His chapters were some of the most meaningful in the book to me; will treasure it always. #vcf #vcfwest

Another quick video from #VCFwest 2025 starting with @tubetime ‘s Monster 6502 and showing how dense and busy it was on Saturday. I heard attendance was nearly double last year. Maybe because it was the Amiga 40th anniversary or just because it’s awesome and more people are there…. Oooor a little of both.
I did get a bit trapped in the far end of the room at one point but with patience I was able to get out. All thing considered they did a pretty good job is keeping flow all around the event… for the most part.

All 6 of my monochrome monitors made it through VCF West
6 Displays is the limit on a 68k mac unless you start adding display adapters on SCSI. This is a Quadra 950 with 5 nubus video cards and the the onboard video driving a desktop that is over 4400 pixel wide.

It is unfortunate that my career’s biggest cultural contribution shows up at the Computer History Museum in a visual context that very few people at the time would recognize. (Luckily someone at #VCFWest upstairs had AIM in its more common form, although on hilarious OSes.)

They even had an Amiga running Wipeout. This is an extremely uncommon version of the game as I understand it. It was totally playable and impressively high res. #VCFwest #retrocomputing

Brother Bob worked on the software; brother Dick invented the optical mouse.

(That's a black & white monitor; curious color artifacts)

Faux stone was a highly underrated style. This and that Silicon Graphics keyboard look classy as shit.

Even with a... not-great keyboard, there's something so right about playing Tetris on a Soviet computer.
