> The crowd looks pretty old
Oh man, don't say that! When I first got into C64 nostalgia, you had the older camp that was still staying productive on the 64, and us twenty-somethings nostalgic for the computer and games we grew up with.
Now we've got kids of our own, grey hairs and yellowed machines. At least my son got a kick out of playing Ultima V with me.

- SwellJoe 10y agoI'm in the older camp, I think. My dad brought home a C64 when it was pretty new; maybe it'd been on the market for a year or so, maybe less. So, I was a first generation user, and it was my computer all through middle school and some of high school (a C128D that I found at a yard sale replaced the 64 after a few years, and the 64 got turned into a dedicated BBS host running Color 64). An Amiga replaced the C128D when I was in 11th grade, after I'd been saving up for literally years. So, I say they look pretty old with acknowledgement that it means I'm getting up there, too. I don't mean to demean or dismiss the folks at that conference. It's totally my kinda scene, and I'm sure I'd have a great time talking to any one of them.
