33:04 Hey, that's me! Wonderful video, Steve; it was a pleasure meeting you and getting to interact with your full setup of Macs! I still have yet to slot the HDD into my Molar Mac, but I will someday get around to it! Thank you so much, and I hope to see you next year!
Can't believe I didn't recognize you guys there! Next year I'll be more on top of things. I actually bought the untested 17 inch cinema display, and the 30 inch! True to form, untested did indeed mean broken, but I do intend to swap the panel as the case is in good shape. The 30 inch was marked down to 100 by Sunday and I picked it up, works great with my G5 but I'm STILL working the nicotine stains off of it. The AC adapter reeked like an ashtray the first time I started it up.
No worries! We'll be sure to say hi at the next one :-) Sorry about the 17 inch, at least the 30 inch works! Yeah, I imagined those stains and smells will take some convincing to get off for good.
Looks like a great time. Tons of awesome computers on display and it seems most were up and running which is an added bonus. Thanks for sharing your footage from the event!
I have not chances to visit those events but every time I watch videos about them I remember why 40 years ago I bought my first computer magazine and my passion exploded… Why I love Apple and old computers… And why I am bored by modern computers 😀
Thank you so much for posting and narrating this. Especially for revisiting several areas throughout the many days. I have never been able to attend a VCF, and your video makes me feel like I was there. Thanks!
Thanks for the video Steve. I wish there was something like this here in the UK. You are helping me in learn lots more about vintage computing. Not so much on the repair side 40 years + as an electronics engineer here (Broadcast and music studio's :-) but its lovely to see you try and improve repair after repair. I love your enthusiasm and commitment. thanks again and keep up the good work.
Loved this video, thanks for sharing. Being based in the UK it's interesting to see how different the models on display tend to be compared to the systems we typically see over here. Would love to make it over to VCF some day!
This will be a bucket event for me. I hope to either hit this event or the South event if it happens again in the future! Damn, I would have loved to get one of those all-in-ones to run my class Mac games!
Whoa. I didn't even know this existed. When's the next one? I'll bet I have enough stuff to be an exhibitor. I have a bunch of Apple PowerBooks from the PowerPC era.
Excellent coverage :) Most of the banners around were printed on my Panasonic 1080 at the Tandy booth, but a few were indeed printed on Dan's Imagewriter as well!
man the consignment area alone had me wishing i don't live on this side of the globe. for me most of those are good deals and it will only get rare in the future
I love the SE/30 conversion by Ian. Any info on that? $1000 for the portable was too much but I would pay half that for a working one in good condition. They are incredibly rare. Didn't see any iBooks? Shame.
The only info I have is what he said in the video. This was a common project in the 1990’s, here’s a book about such projects: archive.org/details/mac_Build_Your_Own_Macintosh_and_Save_a_Bundle_1992
Yes! That’s the very same one. 😊 Sadly only one worked, the one with the damaged USB ports. However the other seems dead as a doornail. Do you recall that one ever working? The working one got super toasty, but ran okay when cooled! 👍
Nice to see so many printers. I'm happy I don't live in or around that area. My wife would kill me. Funny how still after all these years people are still improving on Mac horrible designs. Also, I really loved if when I found a scsi mac zip drive. So, I can easy transfer stuff between what I download on the PC and put on the mac. :)
So much fun
More fun than a barrel full of monkeys? \m/
@@geekwithsocialskills But not as much fun as torturing geriatric technology. 😆
Woot! I made your video! Great tour, Steve, loved seeing it, and it was great seeing you at the show!
Of course there was a crowd of people around the Commodore table. That's where the cool kids hang out. ;)

@@Mac84 yeah I wipe it down a few times a week, doesn't smell anymore! But getting the yellow off the LCD and aluminum is proving to be quite the task
Definitely had a great time, looking forward to next year!
The Ethernet card thing was super funny!!
Great Event Steve You Did A Fantastic Job Taking All Of Us A Long Lots Of really Cool Stuff Thanks For The Trip down Memory Lane
31:25 ... I see me! Well, at least the back of my fat head. Great to meet you and say "Greetings from northern New Jersey" in person.
Omg! The video we've all been waiting for is finally here!

Wish there was stuff like this over here in Australia. :)
Looking forward to VCF Midwest :)
Awesome thanks!
Awesome!
Powermac 6300 is love, powermac 6300 is life!
28:58 That big thing on the right is an air conditioning machine looking like a giant PC case? Wow.
Tell me they brought in a portable generator... that's a lot of power running all those old rigs! lol

This is so cool! I'll have to attend one year.
I love your Intro also thx for the new Video. Very nice!

wow look at all those old computers and wow absolutely amazing . I guess the mask thing isnt going away anytime soon though

I've seen that Ian guy in a couple of vintage computer festival videos and he straight up seems like a wizard. Cool dude i bet
Yes! He’s a great dude, very talented!
The Sage iMac G3 would have been a steal!
Excellent coverage :) Most of the banners around were printed on my Panasonic 1080 at the Tandy booth, but a few were indeed printed on Dan's Imagewriter as well!
Awesome! It was so cool seeing those all over the show. Well done!
I need to get in my car and drive down to the next one of these.
I had a 520c with the 603 daughterboard .. neat
man the consignment area alone had me wishing i don't live on this side of the globe. for me most of those are good deals and it will only get rare in the future
Looks awesome, so want to go sometime for sure ;) Have so many goodies to show off, any chance this will ever make it's way to Canada?
Ah the ImageWriter.
I ended up getting the palm treo 600 it was all there and worked but it seems the digitizer broke

@@Mac84 thanks, first I've heard of this
Was that flower power one of the ones you got from me? or are those still at Ron's place? Looks like a fun show!
Yes! That’s the very same one. 😊
Sadly only one worked, the one with the damaged USB ports. However the other seems dead as a doornail. Do you recall that one ever working?

I was selling that large apple display at the price I saw them at without a psu..

I have heard you are the owner of an Apple Cube room. How many of those do you currently own?
Negative 42
I would kill (in a videogame) for going to something like this :3
Hello steve
Does the 8-bit Guy ever show up here?
According to the website he’ll be there next weekend www.vcfed.org
@@Mac84 Thank you sir for responding.
15:57 its called a "desktop". A tower is standing up. A desktop is laying down.
And if you put it upside down it's a sad desktop.
@@Mac84 And if you let it sit in the mud. it's a dirty desktop.😁
I’ve gotta get down there one of these days! ❤️ 💾
