Thought I’d have a little fun with my new NeXT hardware and recreate one of my favorite computer related ads of all time 😅 Need to find a retro data center floor for another photo shoot! #NeXT #retro #computers #vintage #bikini #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

This Mac was so powerful, the U.S. government legally banned it from export. One billion operations per second, a graphite body to die for, and curves the Commerce Department wasn’t ready for. The Power Mac G4 wasn’t just fast, it was classified as a weapon 🚀 #Retro #VintageComputer #TechHistory

Since Instagram/Meta don't care about reinstating my account after a bogus suspension (along with countless others), I think I'll just start posting on @bsky.app 🙌 If you like retro/vintage computing with a little flair, give me a follow ☺️ #retro #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #VCF #computers
