Last Saturday we had another DFW Retro Computing meetup and despite being relatively cold it was an incredible turnout! I brought my mini WeatherRack™️ showing off the WeatherStar XL!

Excited to get things rolling for VCF Southwest 2026, May 29-31! Hotel room block is open now! Here’s the newsletter announcing the show and all the details #VCFSW #VCF vcfsw.org/so/32PaQjm_j...

Got a period correct USB network adapter for the Gateway Astro, now I can read the morning news on Protoweb!

Finally rounded out my Gateway collection with the acquisition of an Astro! I’ve been looking for one of these for years!

A huge thank you to @museumjoe.bsky.social and @ronscompvids.bsky.social for having the ShadyTel crew, including myself, on Retro Repair Roundup last night! We spent 2 hrs talking telco and how the phone network comes together at a VCF. What a great time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN19...

Weather and Computer Chronicles! Brought my Intellistar out to our DFW retro computer meetup yesterday. #weather #intellistar #computerchronicles

I would love to make a ceefax exhibit for a future VCF. Have it display show information like exhibitors, sessions, etc. #VCF

How fun would it be if we did a consignment at @vcfsw.bsky.social that we used one of these DOS based POS systems like @lgr-yt.bsky.social showed here? Obviously using modern credit card processing though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng-q...

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Another #VCFMW in the books. Until next time Chicago! #VCF #VCFMidwest

AMPS is alive at VCF Midwest! Another way to get billed by ShadyTel. #VCFMW #VCFMidwest

ShadyTel is now operating in your area! (If your area is VCF Midwest) #VCF #VCFMW #VCFMidwest

Setup is beginning for VCF Midwest… even bigger than before! #VCFMW #VCFMidwest

It’s alive! Just needs data! #weather #weatherstar #weatherstarXL

Finally have a PBX in the house! Got my Nortel BCM50 up and running. Still need to do cable management and some drops to my office but it’s alive!

VCF Southwest was good to me… I already had the IntelliStar but now have added a WeatherStar XL to the fleet! Can’t wait to have these both up and streaming! #vcfsw #weather #weatherstar

Happy Birthday iMac! You might say I’m a fan… #apple #imac

Had our local DFW retro computing meetup today. For sure the largest one yet with around 150 people in attendance! Plus, it isn’t a meetup unless something lets out the magic smoke!

I caved and am on this app now… howdy y’all! Here’s me on the Genericable live stream from VCF East captured by @thetechknight.bsky.social while unbeknownst to me a wild @lgr-yt.bsky.social appeared!
