Calling all #SFBayArea Vintage #Mac and Apple II fans unite. If you missed #VCFWest or would like to nerd out with fellow Mac and Apple folks, I'm excited to share that #MactoberfestMeetup is back. My friend Steve held the first Mactoberfest back in 2023 and it was a hit.

Vintage Computer Fair West 2026
I went to VCFW again this year. Unlike last year there wasn’t a major overarching theme this time, but that meant more miscellaneous and serendipitous things to go alongside it.

The problem with the day after #vcfwest is I so, so badly want to make a "sim racing evolution" exhibit because I have three different wheel setups in storage and my current setup but I do NOT have the space to build three more setups. Especially a DOS era one.

My partner @xodium.net is making these 3D printed keychains for #vcfwest later this month. Chappell Ariel wanted to show them off in the Barbie house.

Chicken Sandwich the Nudibranch is at #vcfwest this weekend. Right now she’s apparently trying to get on another exhibitors’ Elle Woods laptop. If you see her, you should totally say hi! Our friend has a Blåhaj there, too!

This is a long shot, but my boyfriend lost his prescription glasses setting up his display at #vcfwest this afternoon. We really, REALLY cannot afford to replace them right now so I would appreciate crossed fingies they’re found. And if you’re there, keep an 👀 out please!!!

Among all the amazing retrotech I saw at #vcfwest, there were a few 1980s Polish home computers. I noticed that one of them, the Cobra 1, only had an article in Polish Wikipedia, so I used it as the basis of a new article in English Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_1

Couldn't make it to #VCFwest this weekend, but I found the #VCF livestream from yesterday. I'm a local, 15 mins away. I should have gone! Maybe NeXT time I'll exhibit with my #NeXT Workstations. 🤓

Have a great Day 2 all the folks attending today!
