GrumpyOZRetro Ep#008 - Ian Mavric

GrumpyOZRetro - Australian vintage computing and retrogaming podcast

Show Notes

A bit of a different format this time around. Craig is flying solo for the first half, and the rest of our chat with Ian Mavric (teased in the 2024 Canberra Vintage Computer Exhbition special) fills the second half.

If you're a Tandy aficionado, chances are you already know Ian quite well. If you've ever bought vintage stuff on eBay, you may have dealt with Ian without even realising it.

Ian has been at this for many years, and is a trusted figure in the Australian retro scene, built up over many years of providing quality items and service to vintage computer collectors across the country, and Tandy collectors worldwide.
