I showed up kinda late on Sunday, so everyone was packing up to leave by the time I started taking pictures. I think these photos were taken over about 90 minutes. I need to go to bed now, so I can't tell the story of all this yet. I'll come back and edit this later…
Such memories... Riding my kid brother's BMX bike to Rat Shack every day after school to teach myself BASIC on a TRS-80 Model I (that year my birthday cake was in the shape of a Model I, complete with -- stickler for detail -- GRAY frosting (don't ask)). Then the first PETs, some sort of minicomputer which booted from 8" floppies and ran a PASCAL *interpreter* (not compiler)... On to hacking the Apple ][ long before a c or an e was added... I sometimes wish I'd stayed a geek in that sense. I'd probably be living in a ten million dollar house riding a Bimota or something.
