On 11th and 12th October, as part of my volunteering with the Acorn team at the National Museum of Computing, I helped to run a fixathon event, dubbed the "Mac & Cheese" fixathon, due to the focus on Apple Macintosh classics and Acorn cheese wedge units. This event was huge fun and also delivered some great results for the museum, including a full triage of countless machines and breathing life back into some amazing vintage machines. In this short video, I give a report from the event - hopefully enough to incentivise you to come and join us at a future TNMoC fixathon! Huge thanks to the museum and the great team of volunteers I am privileged to be part of.
