Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging! (Keeping this, just because – my first WordPress Blog)
This blog is to document my entry in the RetroChallenge Winter Wakeup Contest (http://www.wickensonline.co.uk/retrochallenge-website/index.html). This contest is for people who are interested in antique computing. I got started in computing back in 1975 and had actually gotten started in electronics back in 1962 or thereabouts. So I am interested in electronics and computers from that early time period. I do not know what will happen with this blog after the contest is over; it may dry up and blow away, or it may cover other retro computing posts. We will see…
For my RCWW entry, I would like to take an old Zenith 286 laptop computer (this is NOT a notebook – the thing weighs somewhat just under about a million kilos and tends to rip arms out of sockets) and bring up CP/M-86 or some such OS on it. I will then try my hand at using it with a word processor from that time period.
