Host’s Topic: The Way We Weren’t

Host’s Topic: New guts, same glory?

Would you be happy to own/use a “vintage” computer where the insides had been replaced with modern tech that 100% emulates/replicates the original experience? And what happens when the day comes that you can 3D-print a retro computer indistinguishable from the original? Our panelists discuss whether retro computing beauty is only skin deep.
