William S. Burroughs ottiene il brevetto per la sua macchina calcolatrice. Entro un anno, ne produce 50 esemplari; sebbene fossero difficili da usare, rappresentarono un significativo passo avanti nella meccanica di calcolo.
Another great item from the redoubtable @JennyList. What we call "microcontrollers" today easily emulate what we called "workstations" ... ahem ... yesterday.
To hell with Doom, this would run #Emacs!
I wasn't kidding when I said I put a dedicated GPU into this #compaqdeskproen!

Nasce Margaret Hamilton.
Dal 1961 lavorò al MIT (progetto SAGE) e poi divenne la prima programmatrice nel team Apollo della NASA, responsabile del software dei moduli di comando e lunare.
Creò sistemi di priorità e recupero che resero possibile l’Apollo 11. Nella foto, Margaret sul modulo di comando.
Yep, I’ve got one of these too! It’s been a bit of a guinea pig for me, and has a dedicated video card in it (because I could). #compaq #compaqdeskpro #retrocomputing #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #windows2000 #crt #90snostalgia #2000snostalgia #bluescreen #deskpro #compaqdeskproen
Morgen, am Samstag, gibt es ein kleines #Retrocomputer Treffen in #Hannover, im Freizeitheim Döhren. Es fängt um 10:00 an und geht bis in den Nachmittag hinein. Es ist ein Treffen bei dem viele einfach ihre Retro Rechner mitbringen und um sich einfach zu unterhalten oder auch mal ezwas zu reparieren. Selbst bin ich dort mit einem #C128 und einem #schneidercpc . Mit letzterem möchte ich mich wieder mit #symbos auseinander setzen.

Diesen Oktober/November kommt ein neuer original Commodore 64 Ultimate auf den Markt durch den neuen Commodore Besitzer. Er hat nur die Namens- & Logorechte an Commodore und nicht an dessen Geräten/Technik.
Was meint Ihr, hat die neue Commodore Firma Zukunft und ist es weiterhin ein Commodore?
Restoration of Two Power Mac G4s!
Today in #retrocomputer repairs, I prepped another basket case #c64 for a PAL VICII. I finally picked up some ChipQuick from @adafruit this week and I finally was able to use solder braid to clear through hole connectors on a board. I've always had trouble getting old solder to flow into braid but this was the fastest I've ever done something like this.

Happy to report that we've passed another important milestone!
Thank you to everyone watching & sharing my work! Now, only 600 more subscribers to go before I giveaway an SNES

Nasce Clive Marles Sinclair, fondatore della Sinclair Research. Rivoluzionò l’home-computing con dispositivi come MK 14, ZX80, ZX81, ZX Spectrum, QL e il triciclo elettrico C5. Dopo esperienze editoriali, fondò Sinclair Radionics (1961) e creò la prima calcolatrice compatta nel 1972. Più tardi fondò Cambridge Computers e lanciò il Cambridge Z88.
For all you #RetroComputer purists please look away now but if you'd like to see what happens to an #AtariST that has been left in a bath of peroxide for two weeks, carry on.
Here's the before.
A pretty yellowed case that had not budged after nearly a month on the sun.

Microsoft acquista 86-DOS da Seattle Computer Products per 50.000 dollari, poco prima del lancio dell’IBM PC.
Aveva già ottenuto una licenza da 25.000 dollari nel 1980 per adattarlo al processore Intel 8088.
Rinominato MS-DOS, viene ceduto a IBM come PC-DOS.
SCP farà causa e ottiene 1 milione di dollari.
