Für die deutschen #retrocomputing Freunde:

Im letzten c't Newsletter von #heise, war die Rede davon, dass bei genügend Interesse ein #retrocomputing Podcast geplant ist. Ich finde die Podcasts von heise qualitativ sehr gut und ein Podcast zu dem Thema wäre ein Hit.

Also bei Interesse, schickt bitte Michael eine E-Mail. Seine E-Mail Adresse befindet sich im Newsletter unten unter "Olle Kamellen neu vertont".

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that a Heathkit H11 was really a DEC PDP11 in disguise.
