I attended the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 2025 in Schaumburg Illinois. An event filled with classic computers, retro gaming, and general nostalgia for technology! My main focus was photography, but made this video from GoPro footage for the TECH channel. youtu.be/bpdK71sCz6I #VCFMidwest

We saw and spoke with so many neat people at #vcfmidwest! A few fantastic mutuals showed up too: Jepler, @jeffgeerling.com
and @tayloramyshow.bsky.social! The creativity represented in these pictures is off the charts.

I sold every system I brought. Bargains for all and a bit of cash back for me.

That is a wrap on an awesome VCF Midwest. Thanks to everyone for a great show. I have to come back next year. #vcfmidwest
