None of the photos in this set are dated or labeled. However, based on previous photos from this batch, these appear to feature Mackinaw Island in Michigan and are probably from the late 1960s.
The first two photos look like they were taken on board one of the ferries that go to the island and are looking back towards shore.

Dell's Latitude line was designed for business users. They tended to have more solid construction and be a little more subdued in their looks than the more consumer oriented Inspiron line. In general, they seem to be of higher quality than Inspirons, at least in terms of construction. This Latitude E6520 features:

All of the photos in this set were taken in the late 1960s and early 1970s and were probably take in the Lansing, Michigan area.
The first three photos were all processed in July 1968. The first one is labeled 'crown queen' and the next two are labeled 'plyg olympics'. I believe these were all part of the same event which was some kind of kids olympics.

I'm going to start posting my random computer questions here in the hopes that someone might be able to answer them. Now I am a software engineer by trade and have been building my own PCs for 20+ years. I'm not exactly a novice so whenever I ask a question here it's because I've reached the conclusion that it is computer demons at fault and am hoping that someone has a better answer because clearly that can't be right...can it?
This question involves a Dell Precision T3610 with an Intel Xeon 2697v2 (Ivy Bridge) 12-core CPU, 64 GB of DDR3-1600 ECC RAM and an nVidia Quadro K2000 video card.
When I first got this machine, it had a recent version of Linux Mint installed. It seemed to work fine. I installed BOINC on it (which I do with every computer I get my hands on) and added my typical projects - einstein@home, rosetta@home, milkyway@home and World Community Grid. After it downloaded work units and started crunching them, the computer started responding VERY sluggishly. While BOINC works a computer hard, it runs at low priority so typically it is only using what would otherwise be idle cycles and normally a computer running BOINC would still be very responsive. In addition, I noticed that the work units were progressing much more slowly than they should be. However, everything looked like it should otherwise...CPU was running at about 3GHz, BOINC tasks were using most of the CPU cycles, etc. Nothing looked out of place to indicate why it would be operating more slowly than normal.
Upon rebooting and paying closer attention, it looked like Linux was spitting out some error messages during boot that indicated corrected memory errors. I forget exactly what the errors were but when I looked it up it sounded like the problem MIGHT not be actual memory errors but a bad driver. Instead of trying to screw around with that I decided to install a fresh copy of Xubuntu (my normal linux of choice) to see what would happen. Perhaps unsurprisingly I got the same results.
Then I installed Windows 10. Windows 10 behaved basically the same way. It got very sluggish when BOINC started up its tasks. I did notice that the System task was using quite a bit of CPU (at least one full core) and also hitting the disk pretty hard. But this is so often the case with Windows that it's hard to say for sure if it is related. So CLEARLY this is a problem of bad memory, right? Well, maybe...but here is where it gets a little weird...
I discovered this "fix" quite by accident. When you install Windows 10, it defaults to putting your computer to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. Since I run BOINC I never want this to happen but I inevitably forget that setting until it happens the first time after a new install. So sure enough, I forgot to change that setting and the computer went to sleep after 30 minutes. I pressed the power button to wake it up and it woke up...but without the sluggishness it had before. Also, BOINC tasks seemed to be progressing at a more reasonable rate of speed. It seems whatever the problem was had been cured by a short nap. A fluke you say! But no...it's repeatable. If I reboot the computer, it behaves sluggishly when BOINC is running and runs much slower than it seems it should. Put it to sleep and wake it up again, and it performs normally until rebooted again. And when I say rebooted, i don't even mean power cycled...just rebooting brings the problem back.
I also ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and it found no errors.
This machine has the latest BIOS available and Windows does not show any missing drivers (and of course seemingly the same problem existed under Linux as well...not sure if a sleep and a wake-up would have fixed it there too or not). The memory is new but that doesn't eliminate the possibility of a bad stick (it has 4 16GB modules in a quad channel configuration). It just seems odd that putting the computer to sleep and waking it up solves the problem and rebooting brings it back. What could possibly cause that? Since the problem exists across multiple operating systems, surely it is a hardware issue of some sort.
Personally, I'm leaning toward a slightly more obscure solution than bad memory as I don't see how sleeping and waking could possibly fix that. Maybe a flaky memory controller on the CPU? I would think if that were the case though that I would see all kinds of stability issues but there are none, either in its "sluggish" state or in its "fixed" state. It can run for hours on end either way with no crashes or other signs of instability, all the while using nearly 100% of the CPU and GPU for BOINC tasks.
Poking around in Windows Event Viewer, I did find a whole crapload of WHEA-Logger errors that seemed to correspond to when the system was sluggish that say "A corrected hardware error has occurred. A record describing the condition is contained in the data section of this event." But the "data" section might as well be random numbers for all the use it is.
For one reason or another, I suspect that I am getting a constant stream of memory errors (that are ECC correctable so no crash) in the sluggish state and this is somehow resolved by sleeping and waking. Can correctable memory errors lead to a sluggish system? Why would sleeping and waking resolve this sort of problem?
Like I said, it's computer demons...
I guess by process of elimination I could try swapping out the memory and then the CPU, I just don't know if I have appropriate spares lying around at the moment. And it's not like this is my primary computer...it's just a toy to play with so as long as sleeping and waking it resolves the issue, then that's what I'll do. It just seems so weird.
Byte was perhaps the most successful early computer magazine. In its early days, it covered what would have been considered small business computers, hobbyist systems, and the first home computers. This issue from July 1981 is from shortly before the original IBM PC was introduced and includes:
Byte (July 1981)
All of the photos in this set were probably taken in the 1960s in Michigan.
The first two photos are undated but are labeled Mackinaw Island so they were taken in Mackinaw Island, Michigan. They are likely from the late 1960s.

In the 1980s, there wasn't much of an Internet to speak of so you got pretty much all of your computer related info from magazines. Hence the large size of what was probably the most popular PC specific magazine with this one coming it at about 400 pages. Contents for the June 1988 issue includes:
PC World (June 1988)
All of the photos in this set were taken in the late 1960s in the Lansing, Michigan area.
The first photo was processed in August 1967 and is labeled 'Plyg Olympics - Cornstock 67'. This was some kind of olympics style event for kids. It may have been a fundraiser for playgrounds in the Lansing area or perhaps just an event sponsored for kids.

For better or worse, Nintendo has always done things their own way. The Nintendo 64 is a good example. In an era when multimedia was king and CD-ROM was not only the wave of the future but had been well established, Nintendo decided to stick with cartridges for one more console generation. This is a little surprising given that Nintendo had worked with both Phillips and Sony to develop a CD-ROM add-on for the Super Nintendo (the latter famously leading to the development of the PlayStation). However, at the end of the day, Nintendo felt that CD-ROM just did not have the performance characteristics they desired.
The cartridge format has its advantages and disadvantages. The big advantage of course is speed. Accessing game data from solid state memory is far faster than reading it off of a CD. This meant virtually no load times. The disadvantages are price and memory limitations. While a CD costs pennies, ROM cartridges were far more expensive. A single CD could hold 650 to 700 MB whereas Nintendo 64 cartridges were limited to 64 MB primarily for cost reasons. These limitations led to there being only 388 games released for the N64 during its lifetime. By comparison there were around 1,100 games released for the PlayStation and close to 600 for the Sega Saturn. Both the NES and SNES had well over 700 games. However, despite the lower game count, the N64 still outsold the Saturn in the U.S. and the expense of producing cartridges meant that developers had to be much more careful with what they released, something that Nintendo tended to enforce to one degree or another over the years anyway. The average game quality was much higher on the N64 than other systems and a number of very influential games came from that system, including Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye 007 and a number of others. Ironically, Nintendo has come full circle by eliminating optical media and supporting a ROM cartridge format on the Switch (though digital distribution is also supported).
The Nintendo 64 had very impressive hardware for its time and was essentially based on a super computing platform. It's use of the NEC VR4300 running at 93.75 MHz made it the first truly 64-bit game system (despite Atari's math with the Jaguar). Perhaps more impressive was the "Reality Coprocessor" which was a derivative of the MIPS R4200 and was developed by SGI. It ran at 62.5 MHz and it's main strength was the vector processing capability it provided. 4 MB of Rambus RDRAM (or 8 MB with the Expansion Pak) rounded out the package. All in all, pretty impressive for 1996 when it was released.
I didn't have a Nintendo 64 when it was first released choosing to go with the PlayStation instead. However, the N64 is an often underrated console and is the favorite Nintendo console of many. It's hard to fault Nintendo for their choice of the cartridge format as it was a good fit for this system but it would be nice to see what kind of games would have come along if there had been a CD add-on. Nintendo did design the 64DD which was a rewritable magnetic disk based add-on. However, it was significantly delayed and only ended up being released in Japan where it was a failure. It also only held 64 MB of data (the same max as the typical cartridge) and I suspect the disks were significantly more expensive than CDs.
The Nintendo 64 is definitely a game system every video game aficianado should try. There are relatively few games compared to other systems but there are still tons of great titles. Like most systems, the N64 has also been emulated fairly well at this point but its never the same as playing on original hardware. And for the collector, cartridges have always been more fun to collect than discs :).
What were your favorite Nintendo 64 games? While I didn't have the system until after its commercial life was over, I'm still fond of Mario Kart 64, Paper Mario, GoldenEye and Cruisn' Exotica among others.
The Fall 1979 issue of Compute! was the very first issue. I descended from The PET Gazette which exclusively covered the Commodore PET. With the transition to Compute!, it added coverage of other 6502 based computers. You may not think many people had computers in 1979 but the Apple II and Atari 400/800 were already mainstream choices based on the 6502 CPU. This issue of Gazette includes:
Compute! (Fall 1979)
The first photo is undated and there isn't much context to go by. Similar photos in earlier sets were taken in Colorado. It looks like this photo was taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

Byte was one of the first computer magazines published in the U.S. It covered a wide variety of 'small systems' including both home computers and machines made for businesses. However, it seemed the popularity of Byte faded the more the popularity of the PC grew. Nevertheless, for much of its life it was extremely popular and issues were huge including this one from November 1988. Contents includes:
Byte (November 1988)/a>
All of the photos in this set were taken in the 1970s. They were all probably taken in Michigan.
The first photo was processed in August 1979. This was taken on a farm. There have been a few similar photos in previous sets but I'm not sure exactly where this is.

This post includes the contents of DEPRESS.DOC. This file is dated September 2nd, 1985 and is in a subdirectory called TELEPSYC. This is an article on depression and its different categories. No name or other credit is listed in the file. I tried doing a web search on a few strings from this article but couldn't find anything so I'm not sure who wrote it. I believe this article came from a special interest group or some other kind of feature or area on Delphi called "TelePsych".

All of the photos in this set were taken in 1971.
The first photo was taken in June 1971 and is labeled 'Estes to Central City'. I assume this was taken somewhere between Estes Park, Colorado and Central City, Colorado but I'm not sure exactly what place this is.
Vintage Photos - Lot 6 (325-328)It's been a while but here's another post in this long running series. :)
A summary for those that haven't been keeping up with this series:
I found a bunch of 5.25" disks at a thrift store a number of years ago. I finally got around to acquiring a 5.25" disk drive and extracting the contents a while back. Since then I have been posting the contents here.
Based on the contents, at least some of these disks were apparently once owned by someone named Connie A. Buys who used to run the “Close Encounters” Special Interest Group (SIG) on Delphi in the mid 1980s.
A specific definition of this SIG was found in a previous document on one of the disks: “This SIG, known as “Close Encounters”, is a forum for the discussion of relationships that develop via computer services like the Source, CompuServe, and Delphi. Our primary emphasis is on the sexual aspects of those relationships.”
Everything was text based from whatever terminal program you used to dial in to Delphi’s servers. Many of these disks have forum messages, e-mails and chat session logs. All of this is pre-internet stuff and I don’t know if there are any archives in existence today of what was on Delphi in the 1980s. In any case, much of this stuff would have been private at the time and some of it is quite personal.
I've been splitting up the contents of this disk (descriptively labeled “File Disk”) since it contains a number of documents, some of which are pretty long. A 5.25" floppy disk can still hold an impressive amount of info when it is just text.
This post contains a chat log from the Close Encounters Sig Conference on October 12th, 1985. The subject was nominally adult magazines.

.Myself> ga joey
JOEY> Well, I only subscribe to one so called mens' magazine.....
JOEY> And that is Playboy. Because they don't go in for the cheap....
JOEY> "pink" shots. I agree with Marti on that point. I don't see....

.Myself> right on one point, but I don't think that what they did
with the miss america pics was a good score for them

feeling that the photographers, deep down, may not like women
very much...

first hit the racks...
