I was reminded I made a thing on my Machintosh Plus and had tried to say thank you to @jcs.org and realised I didn’t think I ever got that message to you.
Anyway, thank you @jcs.org. Keep up the good work.

And wow has it changed. It feels like an almost entirely different show! 66,000 square feet of vintage computers, retro hardware, software, and old school goodness of all kinds. Here's what the show was like (for me) in 2025!

The original "OpenBSD developer laptop" before ThinkPads
I still think the Sony VAIO PCG-505 (1998) is one of top 5 best looking laptops ever designed.
