@aka_pugs@nluug we definitely need more real original architects from the early days of UNIX and the likes to share their views like Tom did!
If you are a crossbow developer, a webserver (or even gopher) architect or a Solaris kernel-dev, please submit a talk for the Fall conference, or let me know here, right now, so I can try to strong arm you into it using just words and incentives from your peers. 😇😇 #opensource#computerhistory#insights#unix#nluug
I am astounded at how advanced a game Elite was on the BBC Micro. This video does a great exploration of the mechanics of it, how it was written, the history around it, and its influences to this day. He also gave a big shout out to others who have thoroughly documented the game as well. #RetroComputing#RetroGaming#ComputerHistory Elite: "The game that couldn't be written"
🛠️🍏 Next week, our volunteer Andrés will begin assembling a museum replica of the Apple I computer. It's an "open lab," so feel free to get hands-on, as it will take place in the classroom on the 1st floor. All are welcome!
Would you like to hear what the radio transmission of the game sounds like? 📻 Here's a recording for those who missed it. 🎙️ PS. You can also record the game from this video. 📹
40 years later, a game for the ZX Spectrum will be once again broadcast over FM radio! 📻 Anyone who still has a working Spectrum ZX will then be able to test the game. 🎮 Those who do not have one can do so at the museum or online. 💻
We invite you to a public discussion titled 'Liberate Ljubljana!', in which the organization Citizen D continues the campaign to problematize public video surveillance in Slovenian municipalities. The discussion will take place at our museum on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at 11 am.
📻 We are broadcasting a ZX Spectrum game over the air in collaboration with Radio Student! This week marks Radio Student's 55th anniversary, and they were among the European stations broadcasting computer programs over the radio in the 1980s, a tradition we are reviving.

Hi! Does somebody maybe know US or EU based individual/site/company where I can order punching data to cards (standard, 12-row/80-column punched cards)? So I send them data to be punched (no cards) and they would send me the punch cards by post? Have in mind Im asking about punch cards, not tapes.
Get ready to tune in your tape recorders! On May 8th at 9:30 pm, we'll be airing computer programs over the airwaves! Tune in to the frequency 89.3 FM to catch a broadcast of a ZX Spectrum game. After tuning in to the radio, you'll have the opportunity to record the game onto your tape. Then, you can play it on your Spectrum and dive right into the gaming experience!
🧠💻 This isn't just a personal organizer - this little HP 200LX (1994) means business, boasting a 7.91 MHz 80186 processor and running the MS-DOS operating system 🤩
The Tandy Portable Computer 100, was a pioneering portable computer released in 1983 by RadioShack, part of Tandy Corporation. It featured an integrated keyboard, a built-in LCD screen, and ran on four AA batteries, making it highly portable for its time. 📠💻
The MSX Philips VG-8010, a younger sibling to the more famous 8020, was released in 1985 as part of the MSX standard (despite lacking certain features like a Centronics port and expansion bus.)

I didn't join the PC world until 1994 when Windows 3.x/DOS 6.x were new. Even from my corner of the computer universe I heard about how "bad" DOS 4.0 was initially. OS/2 Museum does a detailed history of it coinciding with its source release. #ComputerHistory#history#Retrocomputingos2museum.com/wp/dos/dos-4-0/
