Brainwagon Radio Comment Line

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

Well, everyone in the universe seems to be having fun with Skype, so I thought I would join the fun and open my very own:

Brainwagon Comment Line!

If you have some comments or questions about the show, feel free to call the Skype user brainwagon and leave a message and I’ll try to use it in a future podcast. This doesn’t work for some reason that is escaping me at this late hour. The funny thing is that it worked just fine on my laptop. I’m not sure what the deal is. I’ll try again tomorrow when heads are clearer.

Apollo Guidance Computer Replica

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

While chatting with Tom over lunch, I was reminded of a guy who built his own Apollo Guidance Computer Replica. Tom was the guy who got me to write an emulator for the PDP-1 (he wrote one as well) so that we could run the original Spacewar! on a PC, so this was right up his alley. He hadn’t heard of it before, so I decided to put up this link.

Enjoy this step back into retro computing.
