🚗Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 2023! Did I find a Commodore SX-64?

Join me as I document my two-day trip from Columbus, Indiana to Elmhurst, Indiana for the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest (VCFMW) 2023! VCFMW is a must-see for any retro computing enthusiast and a great place to learn about the hobby and grab some awesome items for your own collection.

In this video, I'll take you on a tour of the show floor, where you'll see a wide variety of vintage computers, from the earliest mainframes to the latest retro creations. I also run into some familiar faces and make some new friends. Did we run into any problems? You'll have to watch to find out. SPOILER. YES!

If you're interested in learning more about vintage computers, or if you're just curious to see what VCFMW is all about, be sure to watch this video!
