      She is truly an amazing person. Self taught in everything electronic, including chip design! She had made a C64 single board computer called "C64DTV" years ago built into a joystick housing (sold as a commercial project) and even had started an Amiga-on-a-chip project but it was canceled. She is now working on augmented reality and has some very cool stuff for that. She has her own CZcams channel which I highly recommend: www.youtube.com/@jeriellsworth

    So pissed I missed this event. Totally forgot about it. I built my first computer in the early 80's. It was a Xerox 820 CPM machine with 8" drives built from scrap parts I found at flea markets and electronic surplus stores. Great memories.

    I watched Jeri's videos all the time way back.
    My favs were when she talked about Pinball stuff since that is what I do is repair them for a job. :)
    Not sure if you have ever made it to Portland Retro Gaming Expo I have been going for many years now and love it for so exclusive it is for all types of video games from the arcade uprights to pinball and many old consoles as well.
    I also volunteer each year to keep the arcade running it keeps me busy and I do not get to check out very many booths but I do say hello to friends every year.
    It is a gaming expo that I always hear a lot of people say they loved the expo and want to come back next year.
    A nice video and was nice to see Jeri and what she is up to as I have been busy and not kept up with what she has been doing all be it I am busy myself and I need to get my pinball machine done. xD

    The channel F absolutely is not techinically superior to the 2600. The 2600 graphics and sounds chips are far more flexible.
