I got this wonderful care package from some amazing folks in Wisconsin. Yes, these are honest to goodness ketchup chips actually sold in the US! I am shocked! Maybe these can make their way to Oregon stores? Hello "BIg-Chip" companies, are you listening? @graffias79.bsky.social

The WCC will be back on Saturday, October 3rd in Howard, right next door to Green Bay! As this is our last "big" show before Halloween, we'll have some spooky things in store for all who stop by! 🎃

The WCC had a few machines in the lineup at LincCon in Merrill Wisconsin, where the theme was "TurboGrafx 16" for the event's 16th anniversary. It was a fun show!

Second, an Apple Xserve G5 is on display with a clear top so you can see inside. Third, a Tic-Tac-Dough gameshow recreation with a 3-by-3 arrangement of CRT monitors showing graphical patterns. Fourth, Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus is making a confused expression on a CRT monitor of a Panasonic all-in-one TV-VCR.

A quick peek inside this nifty industrial computer that was sent our way rather than to ewaste. I wonder what we might be able to do with it...

A look inside the case of this tiny Industrial computer. It's a motherboard with on PCI-e slot on the left, an Intel i3 and a pittance of RAM in the center, and a PicoATX power supply on the right.

The main CPU of the industrial computer, an Intel Core i3 6100TE, a "low power" variant of the stock i3 according to the bit of research I've done.

A lone 8GB stick of DDR4 laptop RAM, likely worth more than everything else in the machine put together at this point. Behind it is the PicoATX power supply.

A look at the single PCI-e x16 slot. The case is super short on this thing, so I doubt there's any card manufactured that could fit in there.

Mad props to @museumjoe.bsky.social for the awesome BlueSCSI drive that has brought the club's traveling Macintosh Classic 2 back to life! 🥳

The BlueSCSI device is fitted into the former hard drive space, right underneath the CRT.

A Macintosh Classic 2 boots into Mac OS on my messy workbench after more than a year out of commission.

Deluxe Paint II turned you into a serious pixel artist. Released by Electronic Arts in 1986 on the Amiga, it was ported to DOS several years later and helped define how game graphics were created. No layers, no undo history, just pixels, patience, and talent.

This beat up Dell Dimension 8400 is still good where it counts, and after a fresh install will be in fighting shape again. Hoping we can find someone who will love it at our next library show in Verona Wisconsin this Saturday, 9.5.26!
