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.

Come watch us stream the INIT HELLO Megapodcast live on YouTube 2-3pm EDT (right now)!

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

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!
