For several months, NOCCC has had a "Personal Computer History Display" in some display cases in the auditorium.
For some information on an
industrial strength computer history display,
follow this link for a Cray or
this link for the whole museum.
Try the
Game of Life. Another example of HTML 5.
Instructions are minimal but intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.
Go to
Pastimes. Only if you have some time to kill. :-)
Click the
Technical Information link to check whether your browser supports HTML 5, and specifically the canvas tag. If not, time to upgrade. Don't forget to reload or refresh often.
Click the
Pastimes link to check out your computer's z-axis. Didn't know your computer had one? That's what we're here for. Don't forget to reload or refresh often.
Click the
Benefits link, then scroll down, to learn how the Consignment Table works.
If you're a hobbyist building robots or your own router, you may be interested in a crop of single board computers. They are all hosted on small PC boards and selling for peanuts. See the table under menu NEWS -> SingleBoardComputers. A discussion of these was held in the May Exploring New Technologies SIG.
Interested in
The Association of Personal Computer Users Group? If so, here's their
Current Report. And, their web site is
here.
And here's an interesting and
local technical conference notification from our Apcug leader, Judy Taylor.
Needed: New members to share our interest in all-things-computing. For details, please contact our Membership Chair.

Present leadership is getting somewhat "long-in-the-tooth". New members with "fresh blood", new ideas, a desire to get involved, and a young spirit, regardless of your age, are needed to keep this 40-year-old institution going. Thanks.
We need writers. We like book reviews* and original technical articles for our Newsletter. Here's a chance to get published and "become famous immediately". You have two outlets: The Newsletter or the Website. We are somewhat independent.
