Thought I’d have a little fun with my new NeXT hardware and recreate one of my favorite computer related ads of all time 😅

Need to find a retro data center floor for another photo shoot!

This Mac was so powerful, the U.S. government legally banned it from export.

One billion operations per second, a graphite body to die for, and curves the Commerce Department wasn’t ready for.

The Power Mac G4 wasn’t just fast, it was classified as a weapon 🚀

Recently attended VCF Southwest and came home with way more vintage hardware and retro gadgets than I planned 🤦‍♀️💾💸

Check out my haul! What would you have grabbed? Or what’s your retro white whale?

Since Instagram/Meta don't care about reinstating my account after a bogus suspension (along with countless others), I think I'll just start posting on @bsky.app 🙌

If you like retro/vintage computing with a little flair, give me a follow ☺️
