Hi @declan . Just been to the market. Not sure if we met. It was fascinating and fun to see the old retro machines. Very excited to meet Ewan of #microbee fame, and his new kits under development. Would love to get one of those when ready. Had a lot of cool chats with stall holders about their machines and see the passion to keep the computing dream alive. #retrocomputing

Lots of retro computers running and demonstrated by their owners

Check out this stunning (and filthy) piece of 1980s tech. It’s a #Microbee #VintageComputer!

an advertisement for the Classic Microbee personal computer. It features a person using the computer, which has a monitor displaying a software interface, a keyboard, and a floppy disk drive. The text in the advertisement explains why people continue to buy the Classic Microbee despite the availability of more expensive PCs

an advertisement for the Microbee TeleTerm, a desktop tool designed to function as a word processor and communications terminal. The advertisement features a photograph of the TeleTerm device, which includes a monitor displaying the Commonwealth Bank interface, a keyboard, and a built-in telephone handset. The text in the advertisement highlights the benefits of the TeleTerm, emphasizing its cost-effectiveness and utility compared to traditional computers. It mentions that the TeleTerm is designed and made by Australians and is suitable for office tasks such as word processing and accessing remote databases

This is one of my fave coffee cups - with the Microbee logo. The Microbee was the Aussie designed/built computer that I made the original Halloween Harry on back in 1985! #IndieDev #IndieGames #RetroGames #Microbee

A few years ago I did a little prototype to see how the original Microbee version of Halloween Harry would look on an Arduboy. This is that result 😀 #IndieGame #Arduboy #IndieDev #Microbee

I found the original Halloween Harry code I wrote in 1984, inspired by Ghostbusters, and published in 1985 on cassette tape. It was created in Microworld Basic (with some assembler) for the Microbee computer, an Aussie computer also sold in Sweden. #Microbee #IndieDev

@atomicpoet Here's an interview with the MicroBee's co-designer, Owen Hill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mp52Gb3aDs

And here's Space Invaders on the MicroBee (in colour): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY-5knLy3N4

One of the more interesting things about it is it used static RAM rather than DRAM (like many other machines of the era).

So if you accidentally unplugged the power, you wouldn't lose your work.

@mwk LOL ah but that reminds me that my first computer came with the assembly source code for its CP/M BIOS printed at the back of the manual.

Very much related to something that happened yesterday xD #vintagecomputing #microbee #microcomputers

The main women is looking behind at a woman with a picture of a Microbee micro computer digitally edited on top of her. The main women is walking with another women with a distressed face, she has a micro B USB connector picture digitally edited on top of her.

Wow just been contacted about a #MicroBee newsletter I edited 40 years ago for the #BrokenHill #MUG. I’d forgotten all about that. Guess I was around 13-14? First bit of public writing / editing.

"No Microbee need ever be outdated by changes in technology." 🤣 🤣

Followed up 2 minutes later with another model... their 32bit "breakthrough in computer evolution". 😂
