great day Adrian.. good job setting it up... would be nice to have a yearly event...if you can handle the stress! LOL... Bretts soviet bits fit in nicely...i would have loved to see one of the amstrad clones.. but i guess there is not too many of them in aus! ...man i wish i still had my Amstrad Action magazines.....
We're leaning towards having smaller events more frequently in future. This was a real labour of love for me as I have a lot of memories of my old CPC, but I don't know if the effort was justified by the number of people who came. A more sustainable plan might be to have say a Nintendo day where anyone who wants to bring in Nintendo stuff can do so and show it off, but without the sit-down presentations and videos, and make it a usual members' day instead of worrying about selling tickets to the public.
So I'm about 18 minutes into the presentation and I swear I would occasionally hear what sounded like drips of water. I checked the weather outside; nope not raining. I checked the taps in the kitchen and bathrooms; no not a single drip. I started listening again and finally worked it out - whereever you have the camera sitting, it's mic is also picking up the sound of water going down a pipe. And from what I can see on the walls behind the presentation, you certainly do appear to be in a basement. So.. just a heads up for those using headphones. *TL;DR* their mic is picking up water dripping
Yep, it was incredibly rainy that day, I rode in on a motorbike and the roads were so flooded I had to pull my feet up to keep them out of the water a few times! I tried to filter out the noise as much as possible but it's still pretty noticeable.
The interviews were great!!! 🎉
Awesome! Great job!
