I was born in '75 and my first experiences with computing were my Dad's early Commodore stuff. I missed the whole hobbyist era. To me, DG stuff is seriously antique. When I got my Mark-8 boards they felt a little like Inca treasure to me. It's all relative.
It's not that I'm unaware of pre-75 computing, especially big mainframes, etc. But given how viciously much deeper pocketed collectors compete for that stuff, and shipping, and space.. really... that stuff will likely always be a curiosity for me rather than something to actually collect and experience. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Al Kossow Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2016 9:20 AM To: cctalk@classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Thinking about acquiring PDP stuff On 11/30/16 9:15 AM, Brad H wrote: > > > When I got > a dead Digital Group Z80 system, repairing that and getting it > operating was like going on an exploration of ancient ruins. Were you born in the 20th century? Seriously, for some of us, DG microcomputers are modern.
