Old Computers Never Die - Their Users Do!!

=== What? ===

A regular discussion of archaic technology, with purpose ...

We will meet at MetaLab to discuss, review, remember, re-write, revive, a bit of love for retro- computing;  we will see what sort of answers we come up with for questions such as: what we can do with old computers; why we should do things with old computers; who has a new, old computer, to demonstrate; who has an old, old computer to demonstrate; what can a computer do, old and new?

=== What Is a Retro-Computer?===

To be considered a "retro- computer", the device should be any computer platform where the users have moved on, i.e. stopped using the platform.  It should be a machine from the past, which maybe isn't so common any more.  It could also be a common, old computer - really the only point is, its not an iBlah.

Among other platforms, we might demonstrate the following systems:

* Oric-1/Atmos
* Atari
* Commodore
* Spectrum
* Amstrad
* Dragon
* 80286,80386,80486
* Z80
* 6502
* MIPS
* SGI


If you've got something you wanna demo - AWESOME! - we'll add it to the list!

We will, as a group and with interest, attempt to bring abandoned computers to life, for new reasons.  Anything interesting we can do with an old computer.

=== When? ===
