CoCo “Candy”! This Halloween, are you craving some CoCo “candy”? Maybe you’ve been perusing eBay/Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace for something you don’t “need” but always wanted “back in the day” or maybe just a guilty pleasure. I say treat yourself, if the price is right. Obviously, buyer beware of the tricks some seller might play, but at […]| Glenside Color Computer Club
Fall for your CoCo! I’m tardy getting this out because I’ve been preparing for what I think is the largest inclusive classic computing festival in the US, if not the globe: VCF Midwest. Last year, 50,000 sq ft of space was packed with just about every classic machine (even minicomputers and terminals) I’ve ever seen […]| Glenside Color Computer Club

Glenside will once again be participating in the largest (as far […] The post Glenside Club Meeting: Thursday August 14, 2025 @ 7:30PM Central appeared first on Glenside Color Computer Club.| Glenside Color Computer Club

Some have hearing loss, while others can react poorly to loud noises or bright lights. In a magazine or via a trip to your […]| Glenside Color Computer Club
Is it Retro-Brite time for your CoCo? In the Midwest, at least, Summer comes with sunny days and what seems like copious amounts of humidity, neither of which is good for any computer, much less a ~40 year old CoCo. But, folks have sometimes taken their computer or MPI enclosure out in the Sun for […]| Glenside Color Computer Club
The 33rd Annual “Last” Chicago CoCoFEST! is a wrap It’s been a few days since the show, and I think we’re all finally recovered. The show is awesome, but it’s a lot of work, so forgive us being quiet for a few weeks. We appreciate all who attended (physically or virtually), exhibited, presented, or volunteered.
