Ovvero: il caos retrocomputeristico nello studio alle mie spalle, anticipazione dei prossimi argomenti di www.storiediapple.it (ed una prova d'uso del software PanoLab per iPhone).

A couple of weeks ago I won an auction for a brand-new-in-box DEC Letterwriter 100 teletype! Okay, so It ended up costing me AUD 150 plus shipping, but how often do you come across a teletype that's been sitting in its box for around 25 years?
At the Wellcome Centre's excellent Eight rooms, nine lives exhibition about identity. This was an unexpected surprise in the Alec Jeffreys room.

All electrolytic capacitors on this board will probably need to be replaced, as the surface mount ones in particular have a bad reputation for leakage. Mine don't look too bad, though I think replacement would be a wise precaution assuming that this board doesn't turn out to be a "basket case".
Back when it was new in 1993 I seem to recall it wasn't 100% reliable in its operation, but that was a _long_ time ago, and my recollection is vague to say the least!
Internal FDD not shown.
I bought this I think in 1987, when I was a sophomore in college. There were only a handful of Woz limited editions. Mine has actually turned yellow with age (I processed it out to see what it looked like when new).
Happily, the machine powers on without any trouble from old capacitors! According to the user manual, it is supposed to be showing the words, "TERMINAL READY" and a flashing cursor.

IBM PS/2 E, populated, 4Mb onboard memory plus two 8Mb sticks, but because of the memory addressing limitation of the 486SLC processor only 16Mb of memory could be used, so 4Mb will be "lost", not a big deal.

One of the talks for the day: how elections work and how computer graphics can help us understand them.
There was a big party earlier today to celebrate Apple's gift for creating disposable electronics.
Saw this around the corner from my house last weekend. It would have been top of the iMac range in 2000 or 2001.
