The Vintage Computer Festival is an annual Silicon Valley event celebrating our computer heritage. Our mission is to encourage the preservation of obsolete computers and software, to promote interest in researching and documenting the history of the computer age...and to have fun playing with old iron. Let us return now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when geeks were geeks and floppies were really floppy.
