Hehe.

Phew! Just back to the hotel after the first day at the Retro Computer Festival. It's been a fun but full-on day,

It was great to see eveyone who turned up.

I've mostly switched over to the 2nd day's display. There was a bit of a panic moment when it looked as if my TF536 STFM was only outputting black video and I thought it was a problem caused by the journey. As it was pointed out by one of the other exhibitors, the SCART cable was half hanging out of the TV!

I can clear up my mess in the morning ready for the new visitors.

Anyway, time to think about food and then the pub again.

I didn't fall for @JezC 's sales pitch as I'm not entirely in the market for a Spectrum vDrive, but the vDrive QL is ordered :roll:

@rubber_jonnie It's hardly a sales pitch...more an observation on how you might stretch the budget a bit further! Of course, not buying anything seems the best way to make the money last even longer...but where's the fun in that? :D :lol: ;)

Hope the second day goes well too! it'd be interesting to hear more about the other exhibitors at some point.

Well, one at least, BinaryDinosaurs (twitter handle) would be a start for people to follow on there.

I must admit not seeing the other exhibits nearly enough. Running an exhibit takes all the time... and I kept on forgetting to drink.

Oh, and @Icky that's an amazing house. Let's hope that everything goes smoothly this time and the stables become that mighty retro-workshop!

[Icky]

Thanks @stephen_usher lets hope so

Nice to see some exxos forum folk at the event yesterday. @rubber_jonnie , @stephen_usher and @SophieRose.

Also bumped into someone from my work too at the event it’s a small world.

There was not too much Amiga or Atari on show but that will be remedied with your stand Stephen today.

@rubber_jonnie have you researched the Aquarius remake yet?

Yes it was a really good day and great to catch up in person with you all.

As for the Aquarius remake, not as yet, but I found this: https://adwaterandstir.com/product/kenbak-1/ so I may as well add it to the shopping list with all the other stuff!!
