@MakersHour A1 Hello #MakersHour Kevin here.

I was at #RetroFest this weekend just gone and so got to tell some people I follow how useful their videos and articles are, so hopefully that counted :)

And that is that for another year. What a brilliant day and great to meet some folk from here and YT in person.

Highlights? Well quite a few. Great to see a number of projects similar to what I am contemplating and things people are planning.

And always good to wander down the nostalgia paths.

But I think highlights for me it was the Tektronix storage display and the Quantel Paintbox which I remember from "Painting with Light" back in the day...

I saw an MP/M system demonstrated today at #retrofest in Swindon (UK) - an Altos system (demo by Dave Williams, I think)

Today, I am not in Swindon.

And I am not happy about it.

#RetroFest incomming!

I guess I just work on wirewrapped SBCs on trains now

Does anyone know how ticketing is working for #RetroFest I'm sure they were emailed on purchase but all I can see is a receipt of purchase

I'm looking forward to #RetroFest #Swindon tomorrow!

I've flown in from Ireland, and for a laugh I chose to walk the 17km into Bristol instead of taking the bus.

It was an unexpected treat!

Ok, so who do I know that will be at #RetroFest this weekend?

I'm hoping to be there wandering around on the Sunday, fingers crossed.
