Tony, thanks for your encouragement. I have no shortage of vintage computing hardware, thank you. And Apple II's are not my area of primary interest in vintage computing. So I'd not use them in my own exhibit. And, I'd not likely use modern accelerators, those too are not a part of my interests.
But there are people today, who ARE interested in those very things. So, you might consider such an exhibit yourself, and find an Apple II programmer who'd support that effort. Or of course, learn some coding and some physics - there were books on Apple II programming for physics and engineering! - and see where that goes. "Lunar lander" isn't the worst place to start.
Herb, thanks for the response! My offer of hardware and help was as much for anyone else interested as you as I didn't actually think you'd be interested in an apple display but you never know! :-) Apple micros need love too! Seriously though, For anyone else interested, my offer still stands. As I stated in my previous email the accelerators I have are not modern relative to my hardware, they are from the same period as the Apple II so period correct and appropriate for a display as discussed. Might help move things along for a display for the public....not the Pleiades super computer speed but still ;-) Unfortunately my work and life do not afford me the time to learn basic physics modeling and fortran by VCF next year (too many life things with wife and family happening over the next 6-9 months specifically) nor is My interest in acquiring those skills very high to be in with. But if there are any of you out there with the programming skills, I think Herbs idea or a variation on that theme would be something worth displaying next year. I'm glad that article has sparked some discussion, I figured this group was the place to link to that article! Tony
