Panelists: Paul Hagstrom (hosting), Jack Nutting, and Carrington Vanston Host's Topic: Choices of a New Generation Host’s Topic: There has been much discussion lately among retro enthusiasts about introducing the “next generation” (i.e. our kids) to the com puters and software of our youth. If the machines we love are going to live on after we die, it will have to be in the hands of people who never had them growing up, and therefore have no real nostalgia for them. My question is this: What were your parents nostalgic for, that they tried to instill in you a nostalgia for? Did it work?

Panelists: Jack Nutting (hosting), Earl Evans, Paul Hagstrom, and Michael Mulhern Host's Topic: Programming tools One of the things we like to do with old computers is program them.

Panelists: Paul Hagstrom (hosting), Earl Evans, and Carrington Vanston Host's Topic: The gear left behind outweighs the needs of the few, or the one There will come a time when whatever we have in our collection becomes somebody else’s responsibility. What shou ld we be doing? Those of us collecting now have certainly all seen this happen, when we pick up piles of treasure from someone clearing out dearly departed grampa’s incomprehensible stuff from the attic, or from the lady down the street who did Apples in her garage.
