Summary
A review of 40 years of vintage computers
Abstract
Restoring old computers has picked up a lot of new fans in the last couple of years. I have spent my time learning about systems that I never used, as well as restoring those I did. Join us for a tour of 40-year-old computing spanning 16-bit Atari, 68k Mac, 386SX PCs and Commodore 64. Guest star: a 35-year old Be Box.
