It's astounding how modern computer idioms we take for granted could be done with NeXTSTEP in 1991. The live video and on-the-fly editing are even more impressive, albeit requiring the $15K model computer. That was impressive performance for that price at the time too though.

@aka_pugs @nluug we definitely need more real original architects from the early days of UNIX and the likes to share their views like Tom did!

If you are a crossbow developer, a webserver (or even gopher) architect or a Solaris kernel-dev, please submit a talk for the Fall conference, or let me know here, right now, so I can try to strong arm you into it using just words and incentives from your peers. 😇😇

I am astounded at how advanced a game Elite was on the BBC Micro. This video does a great exploration of the mechanics of it, how it was written, the history around it, and its influences to this day. He also gave a big shout out to others who have thoroughly documented the game as well. #RetroComputing #RetroGaming #ComputerHistory

🤏📺 The smallest CRT monitor in our collection. 😍 You could see something like this being used by cashiers in stores 20-25 years ago.

Another 3dfx mini-documentary, but this one put out by them at their height in 1997/1998. It's an interesting comparison. Kind of sad knowing that a few years later they will be out of business :( #RetroGaming #ComputerHistory #3dfx

The Serial Port team resurrect the once extinct FTP indexing and search tool Archie. This was an interesting journey, to be sure.

🛠️🍏 Next week, our volunteer Andrés will begin assembling a museum replica of the Apple I computer. It's an "open lab," so feel free to get hands-on, as it will take place in the classroom on the 1st floor. All are welcome!
