A huge thank you to @museumjoe.bsky.social and @ronscompvids.bsky.social for having the ShadyTel crew, including myself, on Retro Repair Roundup last night! We spent 2 hrs talking telco and how the phone network comes together at a VCF. What a great time!

Awesome! Electronic Discount Sales was a store near me in Dallas, TX. A lot of their branded stuff got out into the market when the Computer Reset liquidation happened.

I would love to make a ceefax exhibit for a future VCF. Have it display show information like exhibitors, sessions, etc. #VCF

How fun would it be if we did a consignment at @vcfsw.bsky.social that we used one of these DOS based POS systems like @lgr-yt.bsky.social showed here? Obviously using modern credit card processing though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng-q...

VCF Southwest was good to me… I already had the IntelliStar but now have added a WeatherStar XL to the fleet! Can’t wait to have these both up and streaming! #vcfsw #weather #weatherstar

I’m definitely not going as wild as last year. I’m doing a tribute to the 40th anniversary of Gateway. Gonna have a bunch of odd models on display.
