Had this in the works for a bit, but unfortunately my room making like the Titanic and sinking heavily delayed it. I've since finished my big blogpost on #VCFSoCal and here it is.
Long story short: I'd love to come back, it was great. I hope things line up for next year.
One of the things I did at #VCFSoCal that no one really got to see.
Windows 98 was too stable and didn’t crash at all. 😂

A visitor to my VCF SoCal exhibit took this nice photo of my lovely Mac Classic II. Grabbed it from a fb page #vcfsocal #macintosh
A typewritten card with the text "To the best of my knowledge, no part of this exhibit was created with, or with the assistance of, generative AI technologies. GenAI is bad for creators, bad for creativity, and bad for the world in general, in its present form. Signed, John W.S. Riney III"
Everyone has their own comfort level with GenAI technologies, and that's okay! My level of comfort is "zero". #vcfsocal #vintagecomputers #fuckai
Got to test the three Apple II DuoDisk floppy drives I picked up at VCF SoCal. All three work great! So happy to have these in good condition :) #retrocomputing #vcfsocal #apple2 #apple
So the guy who went to #VCFSoCal with me spotted these Glitchbits pins and there was a Cube one.
You know me.
I had to have it.
I was only at #VCFSoCal for a few hours due to other obligations, but I accidentally became the new mom of a G4 Cube less than 20 minutes after I got to the show. Had a freaking blast, I love my computer friends.
Picked up these nice Apple II DuoDisks at VCF SoCal over the weekend. All are claimed to work. Looking forward to testing them in the next week or two. Hopefully at least one works! #vcfsocal #apple2 #duodisk #retrocomputing
Thanks to the organizers, exhibitors, vendors, and visitors for an amazing VCF! Can’t wait for 2027! #vcfsocal
And that’s #VCFSoCal in the books. What a time.
I’ll definitely have more to say about it later. Short of that little fun occurrence earlier, it was a blast.
My bf has an exhibit this weekend at #vcfsocal that uses an AIM chat. A tween used THAT racial slur in the chat multiple times. BF reported it; I have no idea if kids under 18 are allowed w/o parents. To make matters worse it was a Latino kid. I’m sick of this behavior within our community.

Make sure to visit us in the vendor hall booth V15! Pick up your PC vintage hardware and our Atari/ Commodore modules while they last at Maxi's Retro Tech
At #VCFSoCal?
Miss AIM?
Want to try and score a blind date for V-day weekend (this is a joke)
Come on down to table E51 and chat like it’s 2003 again.
(PPC.IO and the Luggables exhibit are also participating!)
Looking forward to Day 2 of the Vintage Computer Festival SoCal. Stop by and say hello! #vcfsocal
