A deep interest in the pre-Windows home computer revolution, specifically the 8-bit, Commodore, and Amiga scene that defined that period of immense technological change for the home computer user.

Another great person, Burger Becky, has passed away from the vintage computing community. We were privileged to have her speak at VCF East and VCF West to tell her stories. Her stories will be preserved for posterity. She will be greatly missed!

Um. My jameco.com order arrived.

I ordered a logic chip grab back just to see what I would get.

Put together a nice little Versa64Cart pcb and wanted a case, trying this one by "havunome" on Thingiverse. Nice and open, making it easy to get to everything, including the EPROM.

In the middle of the print, I ran out of black, which made for a nice print. 😁

It's the kind of scrolling that–well, surely you know the kind. No, it's not that kind of scrolling. Nor that one neither.

Look, someone please just tell us what kind of scrolling it is and enjoy spaceflight, bulky computing, Amstrad CPC ports and more, when This Week in Retro 244 arrives Saturday!

In the throne room, I used to always have some magazine to read, covering computers to gardening.

Then that dreaded smart phone replaced those rags for nearly a decade.

My favorite was the Northern Telecom DisplayPhone with the pull out keyboard. This was way before the internet, we used a proprietary email system named CoCoS (Corporate Communications System), PCs weren’t really a thing yet…

Soon?
If you haven't pre-ordered, there’s still time to secure your spot in Batch 1 of the Commodore 64 Ultimate pre-orders over at commodore.net to make sure you’ll be among the first to receive yours.

Don't forget that the Founders Edition will be a one-time run. Once it's gone, it's gone!

I truly LOVE the look of the Commodore 64 Breadbin! I prefer it over the look of the C64C and its wedge case. Taking a straw poll, you are being given a C64 and can choose a C64 Breadbin or C64C, which to you pick and why. #C64 #Commodore64 #Commodore #WeAreCommodore
