- The Evolution of Computer Collecting: Reflections Across Four Decades of RAM
Sellam Ismail - Founder of the Vintage Computer Festival
Sellam has been collecting and refining his expansive computer collection for nearly 4 decades, driven by a lifelong fascination with these wondrous machines. As founder of the Vintage Computer Festival and VintageTech, he's experienced firsthand the evolution of computer collecting from niche hobby to a mainstream passion. In this talk, he'll reflect on how the hobby has changed over the years, discuss the shifting focus from collect-them-all to specialization, and will predict how factors like emulation and the increasing complexity of maintaining original hardware could shape collecting in the future.
Presented Saturday, February 17, 2024 at the Vintage Computer Festival SoCal at Hotel Fera in Orange, CA

Terrific video! I have purchased numerous items from Sellam. Always top notch!!
I swear I am swatting at an actual fly that was determined to interrupt my talk.
Thank you to VCF SoCal for a fantastic event. I apologize if parts of my narrative seem confusing or are missing details but I was trying to fit at least three hours of blabber into one, and still recovering from an ER visit and antibiotics administered a couple days prior after I squared off with a feral cat on the farm (I won BTW).
The talk was fantastic! Thank you for contributing!!
Great talk, Sellam! I remember you from facebook, but i did not know who you really are..
Sellam, we need to hang out together more at the next Festival.
This was a truly great presentation.
Thank you, I appreciate that. And yes, we do.
When I first started talking tp Sellam, I literally had no idea he was so pivitol in the vintage computer hobby. I just know him as the absolutely solid, funny and kind friend from the Apple II Facebook group but I now know my friend is a living legend! Great talk.
Some links of the things discuss would be really helpful
