Join us at the Northwest Pinball show June 5th-7th in Tacoma! We’ve got two tables and 6 #vintagecomputers and ephemera you can frob! Plus video pinball on the IBM PCjr. We’ll also have a manual keypunch machine and souvenirs.

Absolute bombshell. Prominent economist Richard Werner confirms the 1997 Asian financial crisis was completely engineered.
He reveals the IMF deliberately bankrupted Thailand to force them into selling off their national industries to foreign elites for pennies!
Trump and Netanyahu interests in deregulated SEZs that operate outside of the host countries laws in Honduras confirmed in new audio leaks.
What have I been saying about free zones now deeply embedded in the UK almost immediately after Brexit?
The pattern is identical, corporate sovereignty is stealthily replacing collective sovereignty via free zones.

I'm extremely fortunate to have Bruce, who was the Principal Engineer for Paul Allen's Living Computer Museum, come out and fix the PDP-11 issues I can't solve! Which is to say, "anything that requires actual engineering talent!".
He led the multi-year restoration of the huge CDC6500 from Purdue... with more than 10,000 pins to be recabled. He had to reverse engineer and remanufacture logic and memory modules, the refrigeration system, and used FPGAs to emulate missing hardware. He's also restored (perhaps a few) PDP-10 systems, including the big KI10/KA10. And he invented a bunch of BMS stuff for EVs, worked at Intel and Cisco, and so on!
Fortunately, he's one of the comparatively few engineers I know who's passionate about keeping OLD hardware running as it was intended AND who knows how to do it!
But now we're starting to dress alike, it seems!
After getting UNIX running on my tiny PDP-11, I decided to make it even smaller, this time on a watch.
It's fully emulating a DEC PDP-11/73 with DEUNA ethernet, RA92 disc packs, and basically everything else that used to fill a data center!
Vintage Computer Festival PNW is this weekend and wristbands can be pre-purchased at https://t.co/Qq7ij9iMnM - we’ll have them waiting for you at the VCF table at the tukwila community center!
