Article on Syd Bolton's collection at U of T

[dpcal]

I think he was part of this group (though I don't remember his user name) before he passed away a few years ago.

Syd's username was: Sydric

I never met Syd in person but we pm'd here and helped each other a few times over the years. I made him a few editable pdf checklists: https://web.archive.org/web/20180612220 ... etools.asp

I was notified of the collection move by this article: https://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/news/ ... -education

I had always been curious what happened to his stuff and I contacted Christopher Young and, thankfully, he accepted my request and I visited U of T last Tuesday, we chatted, and had a quick tour of the storage room containing Syd Bolton's collection. Wow, they have a LOT of stacked boxes to go through and Chris mentioned it's not a rush; years. But it's great that the stuff is being recognized and organized.

There are quite a few interesting interviews regarding his collection and I am/was a YooToob subscriber but this was one of my favourite Syd videos :

I remember Syd - good guy.
And while it was sad to hear of his passing years ago, I'm glad his videogame collection made it to a new museum (sort of).

Glad his collection did not get sold off.
