Retrotech Crew 10 Year Anniversary!
A one-off post from @virescent-phosphor sorta snowballed into a tiny community, mostly started as vague vintage computer/technology shitposting here on tumblr.
We slowly congealed in a Skype group chat, which lasted for several years until we migrated to Discord in early 2017 (because Skype was garbage). By mid 2018, our numbers started to grow well beyond the initial tumblr crowd. And then we got a website and an IRC channel , both hosted by @aperture-in-the-multiverse. Eventually, multiple representatives of our group started showing up to various Vintage Computer Festivals around the country -- "hey, you're so-and-so!" Now, friendly faces are all over the place with overlapping interests.
@techav created a mighty fine vintage style logo for us which now adorns buttons, stickers, and even a handful of t-shirts!
Sure, we may just be a few hundred randos who talk about old computers in our free time with delusions of grandeur. But we're also folks helping one another out on projects, sharing the things we enjoy about old tech, hanging out and having a good time, and even still shitposting like the old days...
To all of the members of the Retrotech Crew, thank you for being a part of us.
To those members we haven't heard from in a long time, we miss you.
Beyond tumblr, here's where we exist on the interwebs:
Discord: https://discord.gg/GQjtBWE3as
IRC: #retrodreams on irc.slashnet.org
Website: https://retrodreams.net/

Gee, I wonder if this went anywhere...
I just realized there is an entire retrotech crew and we all kind of follow each other or know other blogs and it’s really cute.

Managed to destroy a trace on my original motherboard while fiddling with the bluray bezel so I took the opportunity to upgrade the cpu/motherboard/ram/cooler. Everything’s running smoothly and I don’t have an ugly black bezel in the way anymore. (Good luck telling that it’s a bluray drive anymore)
#ms dos post#I think I swapped a sata cable for a 90 degree one too because those are easier to route
