Details:
We are kicking the start of 2016 off with a new initiative: an Amiga and Retro Computing event.
Two presentations will take place during the evening.
Introducing AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition - Epsilon.
Epsilon will present this topic, discussing the features and functionality of this new operating system including where to obtain hardware, forum web-resources and software.
MITS Altair 8800 + Original Microsoft BASIC Demonstration
Theo Karagiris, a software developer based in South Australia, is one of the few owners of an original 1974 Altair 8800 system. He will bring this rare system along to the event to demonstrate its operation. This will will include a demo of the original Microsoft BASIC: first software program ever written by Microsoft.
Procedure:
Attendees are encouraged to their Amiga (or other relevant) systems along to create a 'show-and-tell' atmosphere.
While there are ample power-points available in the room, you may wish to bring any power-boards or equipment to make sure that your systems are appropriately connected.
Internet access is available via Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
Please note: If you are planning on attending with equipment, please arrive at 7pm (if possible) to set-up before the official start of this event.
*Coffee/tea and other refreshments are provided on the night
