I'd thought about going but my wife persuaded me otherwise :(

Have you seen Maker Faire UK at Newcastle which takes place on March 12/13. Last years event had a retro gaming and retro computer presence with BBC's, UK101's and Parallax based game consoles on shown, as well as many other cool maker things.

Hi,

Ok, I decided to go in the last minute.
Got some pics of the computers (Sinclair's and Acorn's) with the mobile: http://picasaweb.google.com/filipe.rina ... directlink
The remaining are in the camera. I will let you know as soon as I upload' em.

It was very cool event. Lots of consoles. All free available for the people have a seat and play.

Cheers,

Thanks for sharing, it looked a cool day out !

The computers in pics remind me of how I spent too much time in my bedroom in my youth playing on them :D
