Here are some pics from the event, i forgot to take pics of the other room sorry!
Jason also made a livestream available too:
There was lots to see, lots of 8 bit home computers with a few 16 bit there too including some really interesting Russian speccy clones. Lots of home-brew computers too. it all made for a great event that was also open to the public so was great to see them wandering around asking questions and getting hands on with the old tech.
There was quite a lot of interest in the Paintbox, in the end i decided to take the older Harriet system but i did miss the extra speed my paintbox express has. It was still a nice setup TBH with a video camera and a video printer so i could take video clips, render animation and make prints. I was surprised how many people had heard of Paintbox, though most didn't know what it actually did! So it was great to demo some of it's features and explain why they were so popular in broadcast tv.
Keep an eye out on the
