Whether in the grand scheme of things it really matters whether we
call it classic computing, this website?s name protected by
copyright(internet ?laws?), retro-computing; vintage computing;
golden-age computing or just plain old-computing era, nevertheless
helps us to immeasurably enjoy our hobby. And yet there is a hunger,
maybe less so for old computers as historical oddities don?t seem to
attract a large following, for what came before. The new year
hopefully expands our community: wishing all classic computer
enthusiasts a wonderful New Year?s and all your wishes come true in
2016.
Happy computing, Murray :)
I agree Yes it's nice to slat a DVD and have
auto-play and
all that but the fundamentals still scratch at the back of my
head and that is what keeps me reading as many books as
I can about our computer history and learning code. I love
learning all the original codding and play with a sodering gun and a
board. But more than anything to me I love BASIC coding...
A happy 2016 to you all!
