Overview to Retrocomputing Roundtable Episode 279
Things from 1979, weird things from eBay, somewhat-accurate claims, the usual. The tablers gather round to feast on the bounties of 1989. We expect some talk of things from 1987. But who knows? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? StreamYard ... We'll talk about... 1978. A year before VisiCalc and WordStar went on sale. A couple years before the MX-80 went on sale. We move on to 1976, when many things happened. Apple-1, Cray-1 (no relation), CP/M. Micro-Soft became easier to type by one ... Chatting about 1973. Ethernet maybe, CRT monitors maybe. Snow almost certainly.
The tablers cast their collective mind back to the big computing events of 1988. This time it's things 1984. Mac and its ad, IBM's PCjr, FidoNet, and more. The plan (there is a plan!) is to talk about retro networking. Will we? Tune in to find out how far from the plan we strayed.
