Retro meeting in Edinburgh

Organizers of Edinburgh Retro PC club on January 20, are holding an exhibition dedicated to retro computers like Atari and ZX Spectrum.

The initiative is the concept of George Tingle. As he said in interview to resource Scotsman: "I would love it if this became a meeting place for like-minded enthusiasts who love everything retro computer-wise. There is a wealth of fun and interest in collecting, restoring, programming and playing old 1980s and 90s computers. Some are very rare and highly collectable – prices vary from £35 to £3000 for some of the rarer models. Our members are few at the moment, but hopefully the word will soon spread. The Replay event in Blackpool is attended by thousands, and is highly regarded by specialists willing to pay tribute to the games and computers which today’s technologies are very much based on."

"There is nothing similar to this in Scotland, all the big events are held down south. “But I do believe that there is a lot of interest." - added mister Tingle.
