Customer Reviews
A wonderful show.
This show really helps promote a sense of community within the hobby! Thanks everyone.
Great Podcast!
Despite containing a Canadian host with a 'girlfriend' of dubious exsistance (perhaps because of this) I very much enjoy this podcast. I recently listened to episode 201 (I have listened to them all) and I have to say that I laughed through the whole thing. The hosts are knowlegable about much in retro computing except for the schedule of the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest but you can get that information from other sources if it is important to you. Their subtle and topical humor is a great addition to their in depth analysis and broad discussion of all things retro computerish. This show is always a nice addition to your podcasting line up if you have even a passing interest in that old dusty computer you used in high school which is now stored in your attic. Enjoy.
A must for retrocomputer hobbiests!
Very enjoyable podcast by people who have been collecting for years and who know their systems! I look forward to hearing every episode.👍🏻
