Retro Electric Wonderland - Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 19

VCFMW 19 was (as always) an incredible, not to be missed event. There was truly something for everyone this year. Join me as I dive head first into the nostalgia of Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 19. From classic Apple IIs to retro gaming consoles, this epic event is a haven for retro gaming enthusiasts, featuring countless classic systems, games, and collectibles. Let's dig in and see if we can find some hidden gems and maybe even learn a thing or two about the machines that shaped our digital world.

Sidenote: Nothing about the Dr. Levin page was staged. Microsurgeon + The Telecom System, and me (i.e. Levin) all just happened that way. Literal VCFMW Magic. (Something something... Shoutout to The Secret of Computers Witch, who apparently was right all along.)
