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!

I would love to make a ceefax exhibit for a future VCF. Have it display show information like exhibitors, sessions, etc. #VCF
#OnThisDay 1974 : CEEFAX went live and a new way of getting instant information via the means of teletext was born.

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...

Finally have a PBX in the house!

Got my Nortel BCM50 up and running. Still need to do cable management and some drops to my office but it’s alive!

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

Had our local DFW retro computing meetup today. For sure the largest one yet with around 150 people in attendance! Plus, it isn’t a meetup unless something lets out the magic smoke!
