Retronauts Micro 84: The trials of vintage computing
Added 2018-03-30 14:31:54 +0000 UTCAaaand we wrap up March 2018 with one final Micro episode. This one's a little closer to home, at least for me β it consists of a conversation with Retronauts East regular Benj Edwards. Benj recently posted a photo to Twitter announcing an upcoming move to a new home and, with it, the need to clear out a portion of the massive vintage computer collection he's been amassing since 1993. What does collecting hundreds of computers and keeping them in shape over the span of a quarter of a century entail, exactly? And why do it in the first place? I was curious, so I asked Benj to talk about his process, his motivation, and the future of his collection. β JP
Description: Benj Edwards has long dreamed of curating a museum of vintage PC history, and he's amassed hundreds of classic computers to make it happen. We talk about the unique challenges of preserving so many aging machines⦠especially finding room for them all.

Oh sorry, they're all from SaGa Frontier II. I figured for two low-key people like us, it would be less jarring to have some mellow/pastoral game music in the episode. β JP
