An interesting vid on how a US Uni has a dedicated retro computing lab, to help history students get direct access to working machines. Its official, retro is a THING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPjw...

My latest video at the Cambridge Centre For Computing History features a number of Mini-Computer emulators, and a few real ones to boot! youtu.be/Pc4iFZBmFWs

If your into Dragon 32 computers, my latest video has a short interview with enthusiast, Tony Jewell... youtu.be/Pc4iFZBmFWs

Lets head in to the Retro Computer Festival 2025 (Gaming Edition) at the Centre For Computing History. The event promised to show an array of gaming history, from the early mainframe days, through to the 80s pomp of the home micro revolution, the Amiga and the consoles vs PCs youtu.be/Pc4iFZBmFWs

The Apple II family was a pioneer! This deep dive celebrates its storage history: From the revolutionary Disk II system and the birth of micro-hard disks, through the essential UniDisk 5.25 era, all the way up to the high-density drives of the IIe and IIGS youtu.be/lq0O5LTbNiY

We're diving into titan of micro-computing: the legendary Disk II system for the Apple II. Designed by Steve Wozniak, it wasn't just another peripheral—it was a seismic shift in engineering ingenuity. Its streamlined, cost-effective design propelled the Apple II to greatness. youtu.be/AC_3EuEEPzE

Continuing our series on using an Apple IIe in 2025, today we are getting video working. Use a vintage monitor to get that authentic CRT look? Or do we use a modern flat screen? Or maybe a modern Apple II video card? Watch on to see the options you can use in 2025! youtu.be/6aFeQvIktN8

Are you interested in the NEW Commodore? Well, my latest video contains an exclusive statement from David Pleasance, the OG Commodore UK MD, about the new Ultimate 64 and the future of Commodore. Oh, and a whole galaxy of Amigas and other retro micro love 😍 youtu.be/udrnSDVbbhw

youtu.be/9NO-3ABb00k In this short series, we are going to kit out my bare-bones Apple IIe to make it fit for "modern use". Using an Apple IIe can be fun but also a little challenging in 2025.

I attended the Sept 28th Kickstart Amiga event in Ottershaw UK over the weekend. Lots of fun as per usual and custom Amiga builds dominated the day to a degree. A video is in the edit and will be released shortly!

5 Super Upgrades for a Vintage Dell E520 Gaming PC youtu.be/VVTMMuy-a3s

Well, that was a bit random. Bought 5 Core-2-Duo era CPUs to potentially upgrade my Dell E520 (2006) and... only one of them worked and of course, it was the one I DID NOT expect to work....

I hear from peers that AI is an absolute NO NO in Youtube videos. I understand their concerns, but is AI such a shibboleth that it CANNOT be used? Or is there more nuance to its use? Can you make a good Youtube vide using (some) AI?

Chapter two of the Dell E520 series. This time, we are trying to get this ailing beast back on its feet. Right now there is no video, so no boot. Can we do something about this? youtu.be/J2_IBGZP0gg

Play By Mail, aka PBM, a genre of Role-playing that is I would say by now is forgotten. But did some of the later MMORPG game ideas originate here? A vide on this topic is in the works...

I'm part way through an attempted rescue of a Dell Dimension E520. Is it a "Retro" or "Vintage" PC being "just" 19 years old? Well, if I can fix it, Core 2 Duo's and Quad core choices beckon, as well as what GPU should nestle inside?

This forlorn little Dell PC was found at the side of the road near me. I whisked it off back home and now it MAY have a new life as an XP era retro gaming PC. But, does it even work? And if not, can it be saved? youtu.be/XEbO5vNhAfA

VIDEO: Join me as I make the ULTIMATE UV Retrobriting device, to make retro-yellowed plastics, good again. Behold The UVNator! youtu.be/srUqM2MSb90

New Video: In the Summer of 1994 an unbelievable opportunity fell into my lap. The Bitmap Brothers, giants of Amiga game development, were looking for a new member of their team. Bizarrely, I had EXACTLY the qualifications they were looking for. youtu.be/ZiH8tekANpQ

Just saying hi to a new platform, well, its not NEW, but I certainly am to it. I produce a Youtube channel on the subject of retro computing. So I dabble in renovating old putes from the 70s to 2000s. Consoles also sneak in from time to time
