Great overview of a great show! So packed with goodness that I see lots of things I missed here, despite spending two days looking over everything.

It was fun meeting and hanging out with y’all a bit as well!

[UsagiElectric]

Excellent coverage of the event!
It was a ton of fun hanging out Kate, Mrs. Usagi loves the little floppy disk earrings!

[RodenburgFilms]

I admire the commitment to the bit, carrying Maccy around the venue. You always bring quality and work ethic to these vids.

The sheer sharing of your knowledge and reverence for cozy Mac nostalgia is incredibly admirable. What a great focus. I found your videos when I was looking for more info about the retro Sequoia screensaver. Here's to many more adventures for you and Maccy — who has great taste, I 💖this line "Anything from Broderbund or Maxis is a winner in his book."... but I have to ask... Maccy, if you HAD to choose, what's your fave game from each company?

[kingedwin]

I'm less surprised that Maccy is real, and way more surprised that he's portable.

[Dorelaxen]

Met you there and subscribed as soon as I got home. Love your content!

[tomwagner]

This channel always makes me happy. Thank you so much!!

[JayJay-]

Yay, happy to see you and Maccy again! 🥰

[Shaggyf]

Thanks Maccy and Ms. Fox! That was great fun.

[joysticksnjukeboxes]

This is really great coverage of the event, and entertaining too. Thank you so much!

[KeritechElectronics]

Excellent report! Love to see you and Usagi, one of my favorite tech channels. I'm sure it was a total geekout! :)

[maxxcan]

I have seen a lot of videos of you, and only now I can to see that you put the voice of Maccy. That is awesome!!!! 💖💖💖

Another great VCF overview video, Kate. I also watched the VCF Panel video where yourself and other YouTubers were interviewed, and I heard you say you're a fellow EE. I had a feeling that was the case because you always seemed to be much more informed on technical matters than just your average vintage Mac enthusiast. I would love to see a video about what sparked your interest in electrical engineering. For me, it was my love of the Mac (and computers in general), combined with a very inspirational electronics class instructor in my senior year of high school, who was a retired EE. Funny too, because I wasn't that great in math. But that career choice was a good one. It opened the door for me to move to Japan.

Fun show, I'm watching on my MacBook, I noticed a vintage VT 100 (I'm a Deccie) lots nice machines. Thx

[FreihEitner]

It's always great to see Macintosh Librarian and Maccy!
I learned something new here -- never knew that MiniDisc was used for data storage.

[lonergansrun]

Awesome to see all the old tech, thanks for going there and filming for us :)

[bigd]

I love the MiniDisc display! I still use mine and imported my wife's community radio show last night as a WAV over USB2 via OSX Snow Leopard emulated under Fusion! It's still useful though I wish I knew someone who repaired them!

[SuperMeFan]

I need 3D maccy model for blender yay🎉

[XodiumLabs]

Glad to see the "This is Tails." bit made it to the final. Dunno why but that had me chucking for a good second.

[ChampionOfSkyrim]

I gotta go to that museum. I love a good Sega display!
