+ | I am a retired engineer (old-timer) and worked for many years at GTE, AT&T, and Northrop Grumman. | ||
+ | I held off getting a personal computer until 1986, since I had access to the best stuff at work. Nothing seemed interesting until the introduction of the Amiga 1000, which I still have. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have been collecting hardware since the 90's and my current interests are: | ||
+ | * Amiga | ||
+ | * Sun early systems | ||
+ | * DEC PDP and VAX systems | ||
+ | * AT&T UNIX systems | ||
+ | |||
+ | I like to find something old and obscure and bring it back to life - both hardware and software. | ||
+ | Some projects which you may have seen at prior VCF shows include: | ||
+ | * My Amiga collection | ||
+ | * Symbolics LISP systems | ||
+ | * Apollo Domain workstations | ||
+ | * AT&T systems - 3B2 UNIX and 386-based | ||
+ | |||
+ | I hope to use this Wiki to post documentation on my many projects, to help those to come. I'm too old-school to create YouTube videos, so everything will be text. | ||
+ | |||
+ | P.S I am planning on off-loading a lot of my collection, so stay tuned for more information. | ||
