Il Comune di Forte dei Marmi, in collaborazione con Lilio Tarabella e il suo ‘Tarabella Hotel’, ci hanno offerto la possibilità di esporre, nella splendida cornice del Fortino di Piazza Garibaldi, una selezione delle macchine ‘storiche’ più significative nel percorso evolutivo di Apple.
Al Fortino sono arrivati l’Apple Lisa, il TAM (Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh), il Portable, il Macintosh 128k, i Newton, le Quicktake, il Set Top Box, l’Apple II, l’Apple //c, l’eMate, e tanti altri pezzi rarissimi del Museo All About Apple.

Retrocomputing (a portmanteau of retro and computing) is the use of early computer hardware and software today. Retrocomputing is usually classed as a hobby and recreation rather than a practical application of technology; enthusiasts often collect rare and valuable hardware and software for sentimental reasons. However some do make use of it.[1] Retrocomputing often gets its start when a computer user realizes that expensive fantasy systems like IBM Mainframes, DEC Superminis, SGI workstations and Cray Supercomputers have become affordable on the used computer market, usually in a relatively short time after the computers' era of use.

Con il termine retrocomputing si indica una attività di "archeologia informatica" che consiste nel reperire, specialmente a costi minimi, computer di vecchie generazioni, che hanno rappresentato fasi importanti dell'evoluzione tecnologica, ripararli se sono danneggiati, metterli nuovamente in funzione e preservarli.
Grazie all’iniziativa di Bruno Grampa, nella prestigiosa cornice del parco di Villa Toeplitz a Varese si è tenuto domenica 27 aprile 2003, presso il MUel- Museo Elettronico, la prima edizione di “Varese Retrocomputing”. La manifestazione si è articolata su un intero pomeriggio, a partire dalle ore 14:30, con interventi di esperti e collezionisti di retrocomputing che hanno presentato, in funzione, numerosi computer che hanno fatto la storia dell’informatica. All About Apple è stata presente con il simbolo dell’AMUG e del Museo, l’Apple Lisa, su cui è stato tenuto un keynote da Alessio Ferraro.

In the early 1980's a boom in the UK home computer market led to many small outfits being set up to write software for the myriad of machines being produced. ByteLand were one of those, producing a small number of games for the Oric-1. This advert is from Personal Computer News Issue 30, of 1983.

Un altro "peso massimo" della storia delle console: la Sony PlayStation. Sullo sfondo si distingue la sagoma di un Nintendo 64
Another "heavyweight" of videogame console history: the Sony PlayStation. On the background, the characteristic shape of a Nintendo 64 can be seen.
I've always been fond of the IIe - the first one I saw was at Myers back when they had a dedicated business computing department (although technically it was the Platinum model), and I really impressed - it seemed so much fancier that the VIC-20s and Commodore 64s I was used to.

Look at the Nikon D200 screen. You will see a picture of the HP Computer the camera is sitting on ;-)
Here is a front view of the 1802 Membership Card retro-computing in an Altoid can. The numbered switches are used to enter instructions and data. The switches and pushbutton on the left are used to control the state of the computer. The 'Q' and data LEDs are the only provided output. The parallel port and power connector round everything out.
The LED daughter board mounts behind the HEX keypad fascia board, locating each LED adjacent to its corresponding key.

The worst of the cosmetic damage.
First, the paper tape reader (bottom) has a cracked housing. It's a clean-ish crack all the way through, so I stopped at TAP Plastics today to get some plastic weld for it. It should go back together OK, though it won't be cosmetically perfect.
Next, the paper tape punch (up top) is missing its characteristic clear plastic buttons. While I was at TAP I picked up a foot of 5/8" clear plastic rod, it's a perfect fit. I'll cut 1" sections, melt a little catch into the bottom so they don't pop out the top, and it should look and function as if it were completely original.

Debugging why the telescope (literally) crashed. Try doing that when it's replaced with the new computer. You'll need to bring in some pimply faced youth to add some code to the TCL interface.
Netronics RCA Cosmac ELFII with the vintage HL Audio power supply marketed for use with the ELF in the UK at the time c1978.
This is the lower of the two boards that comprise the membership card. The RCA COSMAC 1802 processor is the big chip on the right. 32K of static RAM is on the left. The remainder of the components are supporting latches and gates. There is a super cap in the lower right corner used to maintain memory when power is disconnected.
