Road Trip!
A great event held by @ACMS_org_au and @MBeeTech to help celebrate the mighty Microbee’s 40th anniversary.
Only the first 6ish minutes is my vid, the rest is the recording of founder Owen Hills story telling, Worth hanging around watching.

It was an absolute pleasure to be able to bring #Microbee back to NSW for the first time in a very long time and show off all of the old models and previews of our upcoming product.
Thanks to @ACMS_org_au for hosting the event and to everyone that attended in person or via zoom

@TheHighNibble Thank you for your support and kind words. It’s been a long journey for the Society, and we’re all excited about the new HQ. Having this weekend under our belt gives a great sense of achievement, and renewed vigour to ratchet up what we do!

[TheHighNibble @TheHighNibble]

I had a great day, Saturday at @ACMS_org_au
Really friendly people, plenty to see and fantastic conversations. The best news is that is open again today, so if you are a retro computer enthusiast and the Sydney inner west isn't too far for you, get along and support them.
