Finally got around to installing my first MacEffects iMac bezel. I backed the kickstarter for a 3 pack and have been so excited to get them installed. Photos don’t do it justice. The iMac pics are a before and after.

Woah, what?! I didn’t know they had US market Amstrads!

My nearest Micro Center is about an hour away which is perfect, it’s close enough to go if I need something and far enough I don’t go on impulse

Same… it’s going to be interesting

I’m replacing my grass with this, making my house value increase 68040%

My parents have one of these, the original one that’s in this screen grab. It was used all of once a year to chop pecans for a pie we’d make at Christmas.

That M7410 too! 🤩

They’ve got it fixed and it’s showing Queen rooms now

There should be, I’ll message our rep there and see why they aren’t showing up

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!

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

Being the phone nerd that I am I would LOOOVEEEEEE to get here one day!

These are just too good

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

Holy crap, I’m sorry you had to go through all that but glad you’re here! The community is here for you

That Macintosh TV I saw you carrying was offered to me at $1,400 on Friday. People be crazy!
