Show and tell, browse, discuss vintage computers

Hello All,

The Spring 2025 DFW Retrocomputing meetup is around the corner! The meetup will be held on Saturday April 26, 2025, from 12:00-4:00pm, brought to you by the DFW Retrocomputing Meetup group and the Vintage Computing Collective of North Texas.

Once again, a big thank-you to Mouser for their continued support of our growing retrocomputing community! Their generous dontation has covered the cost of the venue.

Don’t miss the Mouser table at our next meetup—stop by for swag and to explore some modern-retrocomputer demo boards.

The meetup will begin at 12:00 pm and end at 4:00 pm, and will be at the same location as the last few meetups, Bingo Bingo in Grand Prairie.

When parking, please be careful to observe the parking lot markings, and only park in marked parking spaces. Last time, some people parked in areas intended for parking lot navigation, which can cause issues with parking lot traffic and fire/first responder access.

As before, the there will be a concession stand with a selection of comfort food, so plan to eat lunch there.

We encourage you to bring something for show and tell. It could be a new addition to your collection or a favorite system you've showcased before. Don't be shy – we love seeing the unique treasures our community has to offer. And if you're not quite ready to exhibit, no worries--just bring yourself and your passion for retrocomputing.

As on prior meetups, you are welcome to bring your items for swap, sale, or givaway. However, you must ensure that all items are removed from the venue at the end of the meetup. We cannot leave behind boxes of donation items.

You are welcome (and encouraged) to bring your family. If you bring young children, please keep an eye on them.

I look forward to seeing all of you there!

Dave
