The Largest Vintage Computer Festival Ever! VCFMW 2025

Returning to VCF Midwest two years later! And WOW have things changed. This feels like an almost entirely different show now and it is bigger and better than ever! 66,000 square feet of vintage computers, retro hardware, software, and old school goodness of all kinds. Here’s what the show was like (for me) in 2025!
