The evening was just as good as I'd hoped, I'll also extend my thanks for @Tosk for taking the time to organise it. It was great to put faces to the forum usernames and see the some very interesting hardware. Looking forward to next month :D

We also had a table with several Acorn Archimedes a3010 with Andy giving some great background on these machines and a few demos of games.

We saw an Electron with a custom built graphic card giving incredible results.

There was a great story behind each piece of hardware - thanks to all for sharing their expertise, memories and general geekness!
