Hello! CJ and Lou suggested for me to introduce myself since I’m new to the VCF community…

I’m Nicholas Fiore. I had wanted to go to VCF East for the past couple years ever since I found out about it, and finally this year I was able to and had an absolute blast. I met a couple people whom I knew from online at the event as well, being Lou, Ian, CJ, and Z. I also realize that I'm younger than more than half of you, only being 18, but I’ve been into vintage and retro tech since I was pretty young. In late 2014, I started collecting computers and since then have amassed 74 computers in my collection :D . I mainly collect Apple/Macintosh-related items, with 52 of my machines being Apple/Macintosh computers. As of lately, however, I’d like to focus on getting more and learning more about vintage PC and Commodore stuff. 

Besides computers, I also collect and enjoy video games consoles. I currently own every Nintendo console except for the Virtual Boy and GameBoy Color, an Atari 2600, and as of lately I’ve been focusing on acquiring Sega consoles. 

Thank you for allowing me to join the group. Its awesome to be around others that share similar interests. I had an absolutely fantastic time at VCF East this year and plan to attend next year as well, and other evens as my schedule permits.
