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!

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...

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

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!
