I just ended up coming across a new in plastic and box1986 MS-DOS 3.2 operating system. I tried looking this up on ebay and Google and cannot find much information on it or what it would be worth or how I would go about selling it. I was just wondering if anyone had any information. Thanks in advanced!!

Acer Aspire Predator Gaming PC

Hi there, after moving house i have found a possession belonging to my grandad. An Acer Aspire Predator gaming PC, trying to search this PC i have found very few results so i took it into a local PC specialist shop and he offered me £1500, with it being the original 2008 Acer Predator model i thought i would do more research as to obtain more information for this device. Any help ?

Documentary on Lee Felsenstein, creator of the first video module card and Sol-20 and Osborne-1 designer

This documentary on Youtube is dedicated to Lee Felsenstein, a trailblazer in the development of early personal computers during the 70s and 80s. Lee engineered the VDM-1 (Video Device Module) in 1976, the precursor to modern graphic cards. Along with figures like Steve Wozniak, he helped establish the Homebrew Computer Club, the first community for PC enthusiasts. Lee was also a co-founder of Osborne, designing the notable Osborne-1. Prior to his contributions to computing, Lee was deeply involved in the Free Speech Movement and developed “Community Memory,” a project considered the earliest form of social media. This episode celebrates Lee’s enduring impact across various communities.
