Are you familiar with the old robot saying “This Does Not Compute”?
Dan sits down with Colin, host of This Does Not Compute on Youtube, to talk computing both modern and retro. The Apple Silicon Switch is on everyone’s minds, and what do we want from new computing platforms, exactly? Lots of talk about our favorite vintage Macs and the inside story on the PowerBook 1400. Plus, we talk school computer experiences, repairing old tape decks, and what, exactly, AR is good for.
