Retro Gathering is a general gaming and computing meet, ranging from the 1970's Pong to the early 1990's game consoles.
As well as exhibitions and demonstrations, there will be a lot of selling and swapping going on.
For more information, see the web site (in Swedish) as it gets updated:

I never heard of it.
What is it, exactly? It's also possible to buy stuff? There is Vic-20 stuff too?
But it could be a good opportunity to visit Stockholm next year...

Yes, a big part of Retrogathering is buying and selling stuff. Not sure about how much Vic-20 stuff though, though there's quite a few enthusiasts in the crew (myself and carlsson at least).

..and what about the Sinclair ZX Spectrum? This could be enough for me to buy the flight ticket...

Yes it could...
I had a bunch of games for the Speccy that no-one wanted to buy. Not even for ~1€ a piece.

Hey Zeela, your "humble collection" is really somthing impressive! How do you find the time to use/maintain all those old computers?

Yep, they got a nice little apartment.
I rent a one room apartment as a storage place. (We don't have any housing shortage here in the tiny town where I live)
But I don't have the time I'd like to have for using all my stuff.
When I moved the collection to the apartment I made sure I got room for a little gaming corner so I can have at least one machine up and running... Then I just switch around so some of the machines gets used.
But mainly my collection is a feast for the eyes...
