## Why a print newsletter in 2026?

We all remember the days when you had to send away for stuff. The self-addressed stamped envelope. The $5 check. The anxious checking of the post box for your magazine. We also remember the joy of having that print in our hands. The feeling of opening it up and seeing fresh content inside, and the eager anticipation of that moment when you'd have time to sit down with a cup of coffee and read. That's why this exists. Because some things are better with ink and paper. No pop-ups. No tracking. Just you, a cup of coffee, and stories about the machines that shaped us — plus the crazy modern hacks that keep them alive.

Small print run. Big passion. For retro-fusion lovers only.
