Vintage Computer Collectors Grow Community

Josh Dersch loves old computers and spends time fixing them. He owns many old machines and sees them as important history.

Erik Klein leads a group for people who like vintage computers. They hold big festivals, and thousands of people attend these events.

Collectors show their restored computer systems at these events. Josh Dersch showed his special Xerox Alto computer from the 1970s.

Dersch enjoys sharing his old computers and their history with others. Erik Klein was a big collector too, but his hobby became too much.

Now, Klein helps organize many events to teach about computer history. The vintage computer community has grown much and will keep growing.
