Friendly Computers

Each spring in New Jersey, the Vintage Computer Federation hosts a festival celebrating retro technology. The halls come alive with the whirrs and beeps of vintage Amiga, Apple, and Heathkit machines—and even a 100-year-old Baudot teletype. Hundreds of guests gather to experience rooms full of electronic relics in action. These are the passionate computerists keeping history alive.
