Episode 48: Conventions and Old School Computer Technology
24-03-2014
Show Notes
Stephen Kelley was recently at Planet Comicon in Kansas City and he enjoyed it. Speaking of conventions, Naka-Kon recently happened. Cosplacon and Anime Fest Wichita are coming up in June for those who are in Missouri and Kansas.
Several weeks ago, Steven Tompkins found an old copy of Red Hat 5.2 and an unopened Iomega Zip Disk. A video of it in action can be seen here. More info on FWM 95 can be found here. Zip Disks were a cool idea, but like Beta-Max, lost out to thumb drives. It's not the only item that was ahead of it's time.
Oh well. At least it wasn't an Osborne 1 computer.
