Pics or it didn't happen! :D :D :D (Mostly cause I'm jealous that I didn't get to see his basement. Wait, that didn't sound right.....)

Managed to drive to Toronto yesterday to meet Josh Bensadon a.k.a. Crusty OMO, and visited his Basement Museum of Early Computing. Somewhat of an eye-opening experience. I knew such collections existed, but I didn't expect to see one on this trip. I recognized most of the pieces from drooling over ads in "Kilobaud" 35 years ago, but it was the first time I'd seen most of the actual units.

Also got to pick up my 8080 boards, and see the prototype, which is a masterpiece of delicate soldering. And I saw one of the assembled prototypes for the mini-FP board. That is going to be a fantastic kit when it goes to production!

Josh, thankyou for an excellent evening! It makes me wonder what sorts of working collections others have managed to assemble.

Regards,

Matt Turner
