Purpose




Vintage Computer Festival (VCF West) 2017 Video - From my video snippets of the 2017 Vintage Computer Festival West which we just participated in. We had our Alto (proudly) on display. I had enough time to interview some of my favorite exhibitors....

The Vintage Computer Festival promotes the preservation of "obsolete" computers by offering the public a chance to experience the technologies, people and stories that embody the remarkable tale of the computer revolution. VCF events include hands-on exhibit halls, VIP keynote speeches, consignment, technical classes, and other attractions depending on venue. It is consequently one of the premiere physical markets for antique computer hardware.
