-Welcome on the wiki of the VCFB 2021, which will take place on Saturday the **9th and Sunday the 10th of October 2021 as a live event**. This year, participants from all over Germany and other countries will present various aspects of 'Vintage Computing' in **virtual exhibitions, talks and workshops**. Items exhibited include everything from typical retro-computers to historical operating systems, programming languages, network technology, calculators and calculating machines. Most of the exhibited artifacts are in working condition. Owing to the virtual nature of this year's VCFB it is also possible to exhibit devices which, due to their size and fragility, could not be transported to another physical location.+Welcome on the wiki of the VCFB 2021, which will take place on Saturday the **9th and Sunday the 10th of October 2021 as a mixed live and online event**.

Afterwards DJ Thunder.Bird performs some danceable examples on two C64s.
-  * **[[game_room|Virtual Game Room]]**: The Game Room of the VCFB 2021 is relocated to the InternetWe use this circumstance to ask the question of virtualization of computer game history and give a practical answerAfter ca. 30 minutes of an introductory video in which original game systems are presented in the "Signallabor" of the HU Berlin department of media science, visitors have the option to play these games in their web browser. +
