Fire up your Way Back Machine and take a look at the Vintage Computer Festival 10.0 held this past weekend at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.   

'The Vintage Computer Festival is an international event that celebrates the history of computing.

The mission of the Vintage Computer Festival is to promote the preservation of "obsolete" computers by offering people a chance to experience the technologies, people and stories that embody the remarkable tale of the computer revolution.

Through our event and the Vintage Computer Festival Archives—our publicly accessible archive of computer hardware, software, literature and ephemera—we promote interest in researching and documenting the history of the computer.  Above all, we promote the fun of playing with old computers.'

The festival featured retro-themed goodness from lectures on the role of the TRS-80 on computing to screenings of films such as 'Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball' and '24 Hours on Craigslist'; a documentary about using the popular online classifieds to find retro-computing nirvana.  There is also an online marketplace where you just might be able to find that minty fresh Colecovision console you've been looking for. 

If any you retrogaming freaks were able to attend, we'd love to hear about it.  Just click that little discuss button below!
