Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (641-644)

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (641-644) | PeakD: All of the photos in this set were taken circa June 1957 as that was when this film was processed based on the dates stamped on the slides. All of these photos appear to continue from the previous few sets and were taken at a place called Africa-U.S.A.

Computer Gaming World (January 1990)

Computer Gaming World (January 1990) | PeakD: Computer Gaming World was, overall, the best computer gaming magazine out there. In it's later days it became Games For Windows. Though it still maintained its quality for the most part, it didn't last very long after that. The January 1990 issue of Computer Gaming World includes:

Digital Archaeology: Hewlett Packard Z220

Digital Archaeology: Hewlett Packard Z220 | PeakD: The Z220 SFF was a small form factor workstation from Hewlett Packard. When I think workstation, I generally think of relatively large, powerful machines with lots of room for expansion. To be fair, while this is a small form factor machine, it did come with pretty powerful options. Mine includes the following:

Brevard Renaissance Fair 2021: Music The Gathering (2) - Oro Se Do Bheatha Bhaile

Brevard Renaissance Fair 2021: Music The Gathering (2) - Oro Se Do Bheatha Bhaile: Music The Gathering performs 'Oro Se do Bheatha Bhaile' at the 2021 Brevard Renaissance Fair in Melbourne, Florida.

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (629-632)

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (629-632): This photo appears to be a continuation of the last several sets of photos taken in a place called Storyland in Pompano Beach, Florida. This looks like a kind of go cart ride not too different than something like Tomorrowland Speedway at Disney World except that at Disney you have a rail in the center that keeps you from deviating too far from the center of the track.

Compute! (March 1986)

Compute! (March 1986): Compute! was an excellent magazine that covered most popular computers of the time. I was partial to the spin-off Gazette because I had a Commodore 64 but this one was excellent as well. It was a little less technical that Byte but all magazines at the time were technical compared to today. The March 1986 issue includes:

Commodore World Volume 1, Issue 4

Commodore World Volume 1, Issue 4: I think that Commodore World was the last professional Commodore 8-bit magazine published in the U.S. It was published bi-monthly in the mid to late 1990s. This issue isn't dated that I see but I believe it would have been from near the end of 1994. Issue number four of Commodore World includes:

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (621-624)

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (621-624): All of the photos in this set were taken in Florida in the Spring of 1957. They were processed in June 1957 based on the dates stamped on the slides.

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (617-620)

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (617-620): All of the photos in this set were taken in April 1956 as indicated by handwritten dates on the slides. These were all taken in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Computer Shopper (September 1994)

Computer Shopper (September 1994): Computer Shopper was not a magazine I picked up very often. Calling it a magazine is almost misleading. In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was phone book sized...or bigger. This issue approaches 900 pages which is pretty insane for a magazine. Before the Internet, this was THE source if you were looking for places to by computers or parts. However, in addition to all of the ads, it also had great articles. The September 1994 issue includes:

MegaCon 2012: Emerald Rose (13) - Donald McGillivray

MegaCon 2012: Emerald Rose (13) - Donald McGillivray: Emerald Rose performs 'Donald McGillivray' at MegaCon 2012 in Orlando, Florida.

Digital Archaeology: Floppy Disk #14 – ITSOVER.DOC

Digital Archaeology: Floppy Disk #14 – ITSOVER.DOC: This post includes the contents of ITSOVER.DOC. It contains a single e-mail dated December 10th, 1984. It's one person's opinion (going by the handle of FTF) of the sexual revolution and it is tied in to the topics discussed in the Close Encounters Special Interest Group. It looks like this was sent to three people including the manager of this particular SIG. Contents included below:

RUN: The Guide to Commodore Computing (January 1985)

RUN: The Guide to Commodore Computing (January 1985): RUN was one of the most popular Commodore 8-bit computer magazines, mostly covering the Commodore 64. It was also one of the magazines I bought the most growing up. The January 1985 issue includes:

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (593-596)

Vintage Photos - Lot 3 (593-596): All of the photos in this set were taken in April of 1956. They were all taken in Florida or possibly southern Georgia.

Digital Archaeology: Hewlett Packard xw4100

Digital Archaeology: Hewlett Packard xw4100 | PeakD: The HP Workstation xw4100 was an entry level workstation featuring a Pentium 4 processor. Based on a bit of googling, it seems to have been a popular choice for video editors. At least I found a couple of generally positive reviews from video publications. This machine features:

Big K (August 1984)

Big K (August 1984): Big K is a gaming magazine that was published in the U.K. in the 1980s. It mostly covered the popular home computers of the time and included type-in games. The August 1984 issue includes:

Home Computer Magazine Volume 4, Number 1 (1985)

Home Computer Magazine Volume 4, Number 1 (1985): Home Computer Magazine started life as TI99er which exclusively covered the the Texas Instruments TI-99 line of computers. With this issue (Volume 4, Number 1) it was re-branded and started covering the Commodore 64 and VIC-20, Apple II, and IBM PC (DOS) in addition to the TI-99. This issue was published some time in 1984 and includes:
