Running a Local Retro Computer Club? What We're Doing

Finding that my once-a-year dose of vintage computer fun at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest wasn't enough, and not being able to justify the time and money to travel more often, I started the Thunder Bay Retro Computer Club with some friends back in 2019. I share some ideas about how you might try to start a similar group in your local area, and then give a report on how our ~16-computer display went at ThunderCon 2024. We had fun!
