Awesome! Electronic Discount Sales was a store near me in Dallas, TX. A lot of their branded stuff got out into the market when the Computer Reset liquidation happened.

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

How fun would it be if we did a consignment at @vcfsw.bsky.social that we used one of these DOS based POS systems like @lgr-yt.bsky.social showed here? Obviously using modern credit card processing though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng-q...

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

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Another #VCFMW in the books. Until next time Chicago! #VCF #VCFMidwest

Got my Nortel BCM50 up and running. Still need to do cable management and some drops to my office but it’s alive!

VCF Southwest was good to me… I already had the IntelliStar but now have added a WeatherStar XL to the fleet! Can’t wait to have these both up and streaming! #vcfsw #weather #weatherstar

A box truck with a lift gate, moving blankets, lots of ratchet straps, very large casters, and a lot of people.

I’m definitely not going as wild as last year. I’m doing a tribute to the 40th anniversary of Gateway. Gonna have a bunch of odd models on display.

vcfkyle @vcfkyle.bsky.social · Jun 17

Can’t wait to see you there!

Picking up stuff being donated for the VCF SW auction and they found these. Do you still need more?

So much this. We get grief from people about certain things we do at VCF SW but for every complainer there’s dozens if not hundreds of people who are excited to be a part of the show and happy with how it’s run.
