Als Geek Lab | 3rd New Zealand Vintage Computer Meetup - #Commodore #Apple 2023 #appril2 @AlsGeekLab | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
On Saturday 8th April 2023, I joined a number of retro computing enthusiasts from the lower part of the North Island of New Zealand to take part in the 3rd Vintage Computer Meetup. Whilst it may not be in the same league as the similar meetups that happen in the US, it is a great chance to meet with people that are likeminded and look at their interesting retro machines and hear their stories about them. In this video, you’ll see all of the exhibits, including lots of Apple 8-bits, a NextStation, lots of Sinclair machines and mods, Spectravideo, Commodore, Tandy, IBM, Jupiter and Sharp machines. Thanks heaps to David Otter for arranging it all, here’s to NZVCM 2024!

William Irwin - ZX spectrum
Neville Clark - Spectrums
Andrew Stephen (Next Station Turbo)
