The final price on that thing when I was leaving the show was $10, and still no bites. While it's a pretty set, it's too big, and this was probably the end of the road for it. A decade from now they will be coveted collectors items, but not yet.

More pictures of the bay:
The guy in the blue shirt on the right looking at the modded NABU machines is Adrian Black, of Adrian's Digital Basement. The two of them were excitedly talking about something well over my head technically speaking, so hopefully there will be future videos about it.

CoCo Man was at the show!
A very blue Commodore 64:
The MiniPET kit computer- this one had extra lights.
A clear Commodore 64:
A modded Commodore 64 with a snazzy paint job:
A VIC-20, Commodore PET, and an Altair 8088. The 8088 was being used as some sort of over-the-air broadcast machine- pretty cool!

More stuff on display, no idea about this one:
The booth for Dungeon Dwellers! They make some awesome cartridges, but they only sell at shows- they don't have a web store. It's really something special to see them, and I did manage to grab a few things from them.
A dedicated video titler for broadcast TV:
A voice controlled text-adventure. Speech recognition was lacking, but it's a novel idea.
The CBM SX-64 Ultimax, the giant Commodore SX-64, continues to get better and better every time I see it.
The Weather Channel:
I got to talk to the curator for these stellar machines, and he explained how once they're switched on, they do pretty much everything to keep a running broadcast feed of relevant weather data, complete with graphics, titles, automated speech, and even automatically slotting commercials. Apparently these things don't last long once they're obsolete, so it's wonderful that he's saved so many and kept them in good working order- and then drags them across the country to share with all of us for a weekend. It's very cool!
