The Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 2023 Report

I'm back at the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest for another convention of old and obsolete technology. With tons of retro computers and video games it's a celebration of old technology and the people that made them. VCF is bigger than ever in 2023, with more panels, more exhibitors, more vendors, and more attendees. But being bigger also means more challenges. Did VCFMW rise to the occasion and conquer the challenges, or did it crash like an old PC running Windows 95? You'll have to watch to find out.
