  • Vintage Computer Festival

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Sun Feb 23 20:51:00 2025
    Join digital man (Rob), his brother Mike, and high school friend Chuck as they tour the Vintage Computer Festival in Orange, California, on February 16, 2025. We observe/inspect/demo a lot of 1970s - 1990s era computers and accessories from Apple, Commodore, RadioShack/Tandy, IBM, Altair, Atari, Kaypro, SGI, Acorn, Sinclair and others, as well as modern emulations, media and accessories for these systems and inspired retro-recreations or updates of these vintage computer systems. We also play with game consoles and retro-handhelds from Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Mattel, Coleco, Sony, and more. Did you cherish the struggle of CP/M and DOS systems like us? Did you program and load your games in multiple incompatible dialects of BASIC? Watch and reflect back with us to the days of tape drives, floppy disks, laserdiscs, CRTs, dial-up modems and dot matrix printers!

    I was given a used kaypro computer back in 1992, and cp/m was not fun to use. Gave away the collection 6 years later to a collector.

    I borrowed a Kaypro laptop in 1991 and I remember it having MS-DOS on it.
