𝙸𝙽𝙸𝚃 𝙷𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙾 no es solo una conferencia sobre el Apple II. Es una prueba de que la retrocomputación sigue viva cuando las máquinas, la memoria técnica y las personas vuelven a conectarse.
Porque a veces, para preservar el futuro, hay que iniciar de nuevo.

𝙸𝙽𝙸𝚃 𝙷𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙾 nació como esas grandes historias del retrocomputing: con una idea pequeña que terminó creciendo más de lo esperado.
Lo que empezó como una reunión informal para fans del 𝙰𝚙𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝙸𝙸 se convirtió en una nueva conferencia dedicada a celebrar una de las computadoras más influyentes de la historia. Su nombre no pudo ser más perfecto: `𝙸𝙽𝙸𝚃 𝙷𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙾`, el comando de Apple DOS 3.3 usado para inicializar un disco y empezar desde cero.
I intended to write this post about -9- months ago (not to mention maybe a few other posts as well), but the world got crazy and life got busy and, well, better late than never.

@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!

Let's chat about #INITHELLO and blow up some more Covenant today at 12:00 PM EDT! More OG #Halo played on my MDD G4!
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)!
