Hey Leif,What if some of the PET guys did a PET/CBM thing for at least part of the night. I don't have any of this stuff but was first computer I used before I had my own and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Keeping the P in TPUG is a good thing.Leif Bloomquist wrote:Hi all, Just to mix things up a bit: Would there be interest in an "Other 70s/80s Computers" night at the March TPUG meeting? (March 19th) I've got some Tandy gear that's been sadly neglected, and I know many others at TPUG have other retrocomputing interests but no venue in which to showcase them. I for one would be seeing some of your other systems. To keep it somewhat on topic, we could always compare/contrast them with Commodore machines from the same era. Comments, discussion?
