Summer was in full force but we don’t let a little heat get in the way of our passion for technologies obsolete. Sean arrived with his X1 D with games for dumping and testing, and about a kilogram’s worth of paper for scanning.

Ondrej brought in his fragile but still-working Toshiba Libretto running DOS and Windows 3.1. How about that for a blast from the past?

In addition to a murder of games, Tom also brought in an MSX machine, so we now total three at this meetup:

Once Curt came in with his book scanner, Sean got to work on scanning flyers. And Curt also brought a fourth(!) MSX machine:
