Today's #MITFlea / #Swapfest was fantastic! So much cool stuff to see, and I met two people from here (i.e., the Fediverse) while browsing around. Also got 6 StreetPass pings on my Nintendo #3DS while I was there - it's consistently the best place I know of for that, aside from PAX (where I got 56 in two days, but that's a special circumstance).
I will post photos later today.
I'll start with my last picture first. A reasonable person would not have walked out with this, but I was not that person today. $100, intact and with all its cards and drives and RAM, in its original packaging.
These folks (https://www.patreon.com/niftymuseum) were very friendly and set up right inside the entrance. They explained that they have a small museum in Hyannis, Massachusetts, visits by appointment only. A small table but a great way to start.
Today's #MITFlea seemed to be very #Apple-heavy. I saw two working #IIgs systems for sale, complete with drives and monitors and everything. There were two trashcan Macs for sale, and one was gone by the time I was leaving. And this iBook looked to be in amazing shape.
Lots of old games, including this box for Wing Commander II in amazing condition! I think my cousins had this, I remember the box and the game so well.
My kid was wondering whether I wanted to add a #Sega Genesis to the home stable of consoles, given that we have so many others. I passed, but can't say I didn't think about it.
My kid and I were admiring this setup. It reminded me of @nicole and their writing about old arcade machines.
