| 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?
| |
| | |
| We will explore old, forgotten, hidden gems from our archives; we will discover crazy new stuff that makes us all go "wtf?"; maybe someone has a new idea for an old machine? Lets find out.
| |
| | |
| === 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? ===
| |
| | |
| Last Friday of Every Month, starting at 6PM
| |
| | |
| (As of 27 March 2018, the **next** RetroSession is 30 March 2018)
