I can't take all the credit, that was very much a collaboration between Katherine and myself.  In fact, alot of people seemed to be really surprised when I told them what we were exhibiting. We had been planning the concept since some time in 2023 (probably on our road trip to VCFSW), and doing the prep work for what felt like 6 months.  We borrowed equipment from a number of generous folks because neither of us had suitable working 90s-era VGA CRTs to use.  We also borrowed a Pentium 1 desktop from Glitch, which ended up being one of the more popular machines. It made perfect sense to be placed right next to Bill's excellent Altair/S-100 exhibit to show just how much had changed in the intervening 20 years with regards to what Microsoft was programming. Seems we got a HaD article for our trouble: https://hackaday.com/2025/04/06/celebrating-30-years-of-windows-95/ -Alexander 'Z' Pierson

Among other things, I was exhibiting 8k BASIC. On Thu, Apr 10, 2025, 9:51 AM William Sudbrink <wh.sudbrink@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes, my exhibit was the Altair and S100 bus 50th which is the same (basically) as Microsoft.

Apparently Microsoft is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. Did VCF East have anything about it this year? Sorry I was not able to attend. Bill
