VCF Southwest 2023 Recap and Fixing a Disaster
A lot has happened since I talked to y’all last, most notably, there was a VCF event up in Dallas, the first one in 10 years! It was an absolute blast, but at the end of the event, when loading up into the car, disaster struck and really hurt the vacuum tube computer. So, in this episode, we’ll recap VCFSW and then get down to work repairing the tube computer!
