I threw about six boxes of old stuff out of my garage this afternoon. Here's part of what you can find in my dumpster if you go diving for it before trash pickup day.
“The source code for MacPaint and the Apple QuickDraw graphics library is now available, as is their story, at the Computer History Museum. To celebrate this news, and to illustrate that great tools retain their utility even as they age, I used MacPaint to paint a portrait of MacPaint programmer Bill Atkinson.” —Jim DeVona / anoved (2010.07)

Le Lisa est un ordinateur personnel lancé par Apple en 1983. Il s'agit de l'un des premiers ordinateurs personnels à posséder une souris et une interface graphique.
Carte de 1982 pour les Apple II et II+ et Europlus permettant d'augmenter la mémoire de ses machines de 128K, le fabricant étant Saturn Systems.
A young Bill Gates was concerned about software piracy and sent this letter out to computer hobbyists in 1976
Carte accélératrice TransWarp de Applied Engineering pour les Apple II, Apple II Plus et Apple IIe.
Permet de faire fonctionner les Apple II a une vitesse de 1, 1.7 et 3.58 MHz en fonction de la position des commutateurs (en bas à gauche de la carte) et choisi en fonction des logiciels utilisés.
Au démarrage de l'Apple II l'appui de la touche ESC permet de désactiver la carte jusqu'au prochain démarrage. La carte comporte 256 k de Ram en quatre ban de 64 K ce qui était très important pour l'époque.
Un Must pour les Apple II !
These are tiny! The smallest ones have a millimeter or two in diameter.
Unfortunately, had to photograph through a glass bottle, so the quality is not so great.

“Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory: This site, 391 South San Antonio Road, is the former location of the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. At this location in 1956, Dr. William Shockley started the first silicon device research and manufacturing company in the valley. The individuals that gathered to work at this site went on to form the pioneering Silicon Valley startup company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, and invent the first practicable integrated circuit. The advanced research and ideas developed here led to the development of Silicon Valley and later breakthroughs in the computer industry.”
In 1964, Douglas Engelbart created the first mouse from wood. It was quite primitive by today's standards and had just one button. Also shown is a later version of the mouse, created by Logitech.

UNIX and the C Programming Language
“MIT’s early timesharing projects led to the invention of the MULTICS operating system, which ran on General Electric (later Honeywell) mainframe computers. Bell Laboratories contributed to its development until they dropped out of the project in 1969.
Two Bell programmers, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie, independently made a smaller version of MULTICS that ran on a single minicomputer. They called their system UNIX, to represent “one of whatever MULTICS was many of,” and freely distributed it to anyone who asked. An operating system that was not supported by a major computer manufacturer and that was free for the asking was a radical concept in the early 1070s, but was soon adopted by universities and research groups around the world.
The cryptic commands used to control UNIX, such as “is,” “pwd,” “cd,” and “man,” gave it both power and mystery. While these efficient commands still exist in modern variants of the system, the advent of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) made UNIX more accessible. Today, there is a version of UNIX available for almost every commercially available computer, and a strong group of supporters make free versions of UNIX available via the Internet. Programmers developed the C language to simplify the development of UNIX. The C language has since become one of the most widely used languages, particularly for systems programming.”

Relativement rare, il s'agit d'une carte permettant en 1982 d'effectuer un ensemble de contrôle et diagnostique d'un Apple IIe après l'avoir insérer dans un des slots de la machine.
Les tests se lisent directement sur l'écran d'un Apple IIe.
Grand succès commercial en 1982 pour se jeu.
Le joueur assume le rôle d’un pilote d’hélicoptère de combat. Notre héros doit sauver des otages prisonnier du mal rouge, symbolisé par l’Union soviétique, à cette période nous étions encore en conflits entre les deux blocs (Etats-Unis et l’Urss),
L’hélicoptère se manie dans trois directions : gauche, droite et en face du joueur lors de la prise des otages. Vous disposez d’un nombre de tirs illimité.
L'objectif du jeu est d'effectuer des allers-retours à la base pour déposer sa « cargaison » d'otages !
Il est bien évident que les "rouges" ne vous laisseront pas faire...

Ses campagnes se jouent au niveau de la division et a deux joueurs ou en solitaire dans se cas le logiciel prenant obligatoirement le camp Allemand. Au niveau aérien l’appui sol et la supériorité aérienne sont simulés.
A noter que techniquement c’était le premier jeu qui permettait l’empilement d’unités sur la mêle case.
• Editeur : Strategic Simulations Inc. (S.S.I.) U.SA.
• Présentation : En coffret contenant une disquette, une carte, un résumé des règles et un manuel de 26 pages en anglais.

This IBM 1620 Data Processing System, was Baylor University's first computer. Acquired in 1962, it was part of the Hankamer School of Business, and located in the Casey Computer Lab, named in honor of the machine's donor, Carl Casey. The unit carried a price tag of nearly $100,000 new. This IBM was used by the institution from 1962-1974. Its replacement was an IBM Systems 3 Computer.

(in 1978) “Some persons (primarily computer programmers) claim that the richest man in the world in the year 2000 will be a computer programmer. This may sound outlandish, but few really good programmers laugh when they consider this assertion.”
