@tankgrrl Nice! We were there a week ago at the new INIT HELLO Apple II conference and didn't see that little guy sidled up to the real thing. Very nice!

Superb keynote by @LaineNooney at #INITHELLO now up on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5XVojLWIQo

It's a talk about the historiography of the history of computing, by way of their book "The Apple II Age".

...my secret anxiety... is that we have vastly misunderstood the actual powers at play that have put these technologies on our desks and in our pockets.

...a huge part of what drove the adoption of personal computing were the financial motivations of a small, elite class of people who won so hard that they literally disappear out of the narrative about how computing became personal.

Outstanding stuff.

New blog post: my weekend at INIT HELLO, a new Apple II convention in Baltimore. I met a lot of good people, and shared my upcoming anthology Overscan. https://nantucketlit.com/blog/2025/08/2025-08-01_init_hello_2025.html #INITHELLO Photo by Sam Knutson

@morel I'll be sharing this video of my #INITHELLO talk soon, but I do talk about my #NoAI stance.

I had a very good time at the #INITHELLO convention in Baltimore this past weekend. It was so great to meet fellow Apple II enthusiasts.

I'll be sharing a blog post about the event tomorrow. @init_hello

@vaelen I don't think this Applesoft BASIC effort from this past weekend's INIT HELLO Apple II conference outdid you, I must say. :-) #hattip

I've put a gallery of photos I took during the INIT HELLO Apple II conference at the System Source Computer Museum this past weekend online for anyone who might like a look at some of the festivities.

What a wonderful time it was! Can't wait for next year!
