VCFMW19 2024 Thread

[Performa]

I intend to dump the majority of my pictures from Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 19 (2024) into this thread, but the process takes a bit as I've gotta sift through my scores of pictures to find the "least worst" of the bunch and then get them scaled properly for the site. More to follow!

"Nuclear Data" is a fabulous name for a computer company.

DEC Dust is only 50 cents a handful! What a bargain!

You'd be hard pressed to find a more complete history of Apricot anywhere, let alone a full interactive display of the hardware in action.

These tiny replicas were mighty cool. Whoever cooked these up did a great job!

The WCC "show" banner really does stand out, even across a big room like this.

A lone "Hotwheels" monitor- a real treasure for somebody looking to complete a very cool set.

The Midwest Classic Videogame Museum had their APF Imagination Machine consoles on display, including the very rare model 2. Their displays are always extremely well curated with a lot of great info and period advertising.

Speaking of which...

VCFMW put out a time lapse of the day, and the setup camera was looking right down on our area. Check it out!

Makes you realize how much work goes into setting up a show like that and how great the attendance was.
