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. youtu.be/mb2GNZJJufc

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!

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.

Friday night saw the official launch of the National Computer Heritage Centre, the new home of the ACMS. So much achieved over the last 9 months, and so much more to do! The ACMS Committee is excited as we enter the next phase.

Interactive display for next weekend’s soft open is really coming along. Please RT. Tickets available at eventbrite.com.au/e/acms-may-202… and NSW Dine & Discover vouchers can be used!

Itching to see some rare & intriguing Aus computers or touch & play with some retrogaming history with an Aussie twist? Our 1st event is now live for 15-16 May! NSW residents can use Dine & Discover vouchers to purchase tickets. Limited spaces available! eventbrite.com.au/e/acms-may-202…

A simple 'open day' inspection of the Villawood storage. Mainly so that as many people as possible can appreciate our storage problem and 'maybe' help find an alternate site. Email to John... facebook.com/AustralianComp…
