It’s field trip day. Later on this morning, I’m meeting up with Howie and Jon to take in an exhibition at the University of Calgary entitled Of Mice and Men: The History of Personal Computing (unfortunately, there’s no direct link to the information, so you’ll have to scroll down the page). Although neither of my companions have the same compunabular chutzpah as yours truly, they can be said to share a small portion of my enthusiasm for vintage technology. At least they had better share my enthusiasm, because they will certainly be subjected to it for the duration of our visit to the gallery. I’m hoping that they won’t mind me pointing out any inaccuracies in the technical descriptions of the artifacts or the context in which they’re exhibited. And it’s absolutely guaranteed that I’ll ramble on mercilessly about this and that and the next thing stored in my basement and oh, how much better shape the device I managed to acquire is, compared to the one on display. Sounds like fun, right guys? Guys?
