Hehehe.... Sorry! :-)

We got back home just after 9pm (so a little over 13 hours since we set off)...

The dog is now back home with us too and the cats seem pleased that they have been fed (again)...so all seems well with the world.

Thanks again to everyone for organising a great event and great to meet/re-meet you all!

If my brain is functioning properly tomorrow I'll sort out a couple of details (payment) with some of you.

Thanks also for the freebies!

Unpacking the car might happen tomorrow...depending on how well I recover from the drive there & back!
But still well worth the effort to attend.
:D

Thoroughly enjoyed today.

Busier than last year for sure. I enjoyed talking to people about their respective pride and joys. I'm keenly awaiting updates for the Transputer saga for sure.

My personal 'job' to add Netusbee USB to Felice's Falcon nearly ended in disaster, but I managed to recover the hard drive, thanks to JezC having an unintentional rescue floppy with HD Driver on it.

I think we had the only stock machine there, apart from the Spectrum Next?

My write-up, with pictures, will follow at Atariscne.org.

I've sorted the pictures, just need to write the report. There may be something sometime tomorrow. I'll let you know.

That's always the way at these things. :-)

Too tired to unpack properly.

I didn't even unload the car, job for today.

I had to unload my car last night as it didn't fit in the boot and anything left on display is not a good idea here.

Only dumped on the kitchen table. Getting it all back put away is another thing.

It was great to get the event again and get to chat to people about their projects and collections. Many thanks to all who brought a smile and giggle to Victoria's face!

Glad you both had a good time :)

Finally back from the Cyberlegends 4 weekend! :)

I'd say it was a great event this year, with a good turn out and some really cool displays.

I would like to thank all those who took part, in whatever capacity; whether just coming to look, or exhibiting hardware.

So many people to thank.

Special shout outs must go to...

@Steve for being a superstar and not only helping me out (and getting in trouble for it!) but for also helping @PhilC.

@Icky for yet again providing another demonstration to visually show how awesome the Phoenix Atari ST is going to be.

@PhilC my 'partner in crime' for the usual things you do.

and ALL EXHIBITORS... This wouldnt work without you all.

Finally, a special mention for my beloved wife (Lucy) and her best buddy Meg for the 'administration duties' - not forgetting refreshments - provided.

It was my pleasure. Victoria is a wonderful girl. :) @Wrathchild you must get back to me with where I can find out about your demo. I didnt have the time (or mental capacity by then) to ask :lol:

I'm working on @Icky's presentation.. I now realise @Badwolf we should have had a audience mic as well! :lol: :roll:

My cam picked up most, but there is a lot of "background hum and hiss" as its not geared for audio. So trying to amplify and recover the audio as best I can.

I didn't get the cam setup in time for when the talk started, so the first minute is missing, but i've filled the video up with some image I took on the day. So no big deal..

Should have it sorted in the next couple hours.

@exxos / @Badwolf there is also some video @felicemaggie took that may be the three of you can combine.
