My god has USPS gone to shit. It was already shit but now it’s somehow worse.

My office is still in disarray from VCF SW in May! I’ll get it organized just in time to get messy for the next one.

I tried to run the original AirPort at my exhibit in 2024 but the air was so congested once all the exhibitors fired their stuff up it crashed the AirPort utility!

Brought my WeatherStar XL out to our DFW Retrocomputing meetup again today and it still gets tons of attention! I’ll never tire of talking about it and tinkering with it. Massive thanks as always to @cctl.me for getting it going and continuing to help!

I’ve been working on compiling my “needs repair” list. I’ll get that together and DM you!

It’s bring your vintage Mac to work day! I’ve been wanting to bring something to work and now this LC III will live in my office for my colleagues to play around with.

This may have been one of the grodiest keyboards I’ve ever gotten, got it cleaned up though

When you’re yelling at a customer service person this is who you’re yelling at. He’s trying his best!

Had this one on my eBay watch list for a long while and finally pulled the trigger. Can’t wait to add another funky machine to my Gateway collection! Hopefully I’ll bring a full Gateway exhibit to a future VCF!

As part of VCF Southwest this year I wanted to do a consignment shop and I pulled a couple iMacs to use for the point of sale system. Always nice to use retro machines when able #vcfsw

I tried to do dial up using an airport base station at VCF MW 2024. It worked until the air got so saturated nothing would connect and it crashed the AirPort utility 🤣

vcfkyle @vcfkyle.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

I’m looking at doing the same, upgrading from an M1 Pro

vcfkyle @vcfkyle.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

Finally got around to installing my first MacEffects iMac bezel. I backed the kickstarter for a 3 pack and have been so excited to get them installed. Photos don’t do it justice. The iMac pics are a before and after.

Woah, what?! I didn’t know they had US market Amstrads!

My nearest Micro Center is about an hour away which is perfect, it’s close enough to go if I need something and far enough I don’t go on impulse

Same… it’s going to be interesting

Last Saturday we had another DFW Retro Computing meetup and despite being relatively cold it was an incredible turnout! I brought my mini WeatherRack™️ showing off the WeatherStar XL!

My parents have one of these, the original one that’s in this screen grab. It was used all of once a year to chop pecans for a pie we’d make at Christmas.

They’ve got it fixed and it’s showing Queen rooms now

vcfkyle @vcfkyle.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

There should be, I’ll message our rep there and see why they aren’t showing up

Finally rounded out my Gateway collection with the acquisition of an Astro! I’ve been looking for one of these for years!

A huge thank you to @museumjoe.bsky.social and @ronscompvids.bsky.social for having the ShadyTel crew, including myself, on Retro Repair Roundup last night! We spent 2 hrs talking telco and how the phone network comes together at a VCF. What a great time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN19...

Awesome! Electronic Discount Sales was a store near me in Dallas, TX. A lot of their branded stuff got out into the market when the Computer Reset liquidation happened.
