Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
Vintage Computer Festivalers
Home: California, United States
We educate the public in regards to classic computers and consoles from the 1970's to the 1990's. These classic computers (Commodore, Atari, Apple, Tandy/Radio Shack, etc.) show the technology and software of those times, and were stepping stones to modern-day computers, tablets, cell phones, and more. Even today, homebrew hardware designers and software programmers are creating new products for the classic machines.

Robert Bernardo
Robert Bernardo got into classic computers/consoles when his family bought a Colecovision in 1982. He bought his first classic computer, a Commodore 64 in 1983. Throughout the 80's-90's, he obtained various Commodore 8-bit computers. In 95, he obtained his first Commodore Amiga computer, an A500. Now he has others, like Atari, Apple, and more.

What Inspired You to Make This?
We feel that the public should know that classic computers and consoles were important in the development of today's technology. We want to show that classic computers and consoles are still usable, and in our hand-on exhibit, the public will discover the fun and thought put into these machines.
