I hope you don't find this un(a)peeling (!) but there won't be a full-sized main course video this week, due in part to my tidying up various projects & loose ends (not to mention repairing storm damage, ...

I don't want to wear these words out, but thank you all so much for your part in making this happen. I'm usually good at puns and quips and quick responses but it's hard to find the words for how grateful I am of this retro reality. So I'll simply...

Dear early bird patrons,
They called Seinfeld an entertaining show about nothing. This is a video that is almost about nothing, yet is hopefully entertaining. Once you've seen it, feel free to suggest a catchier title than this!:
Talk about vintage; our little #Retrogaming channel is 1 year old! šÆļø With 29.8k subscribers it would be so retrocool to get to 30kš
If you have friends who love retrocomputing content, puppies & bad puns, feel free to share th...

Off the back of the Macintosh keyboard video, I would like to add for you dear folks that the reason I chose that keyboard is the happy years I spent using that exact one at my friend's house. 2019-01-21 03:31:39 +0000 UTC

Due to a kind donation from one of the Team 17 "Worms" developers, Cris Blyth, I spent today acquiring their development Amiga 4000s, among other things (Amiga 1000 anyone?) 2019-01-10 05:17:55 +0000 UTC

Dear Patreons
In between working on some upcoming vids including part 2 of the Atari 400 refurb & upgrade, I just pushed through a major update to the Brixty Four website:

I've been hard at work on the Brixty Four project and expect to have part 2 done by the end of the week. There's a surprising amount to do essentially releasing a new product to the public, particularly making sure the case design is a...
