Demain, je serai au #Geekardon, à Pau. Si vous êtes dans le coin, ça me fera bien plaisir de vous rencontrer et de discuter un peu ! Vous pourrez en profiter pour vous faire tirer le portrait et repartir avec la photo imprimée sur papier tracteur. #RetroComputing #AppleII

TIL there was a German-branded Apple II clone named "Boskopp II", a reference to a breed of apple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_de_Boskoop #retrocomputing #appleii

Due to illness, I was unable to present at INIT HELLO 2026. In this thread I will post my slides and what I was planning to say about them.

Hi folks! Happy to announce it's now simpler than ever to connect a Quicktake to an Apple II. I've worked on a better solution than the Frankencable, and came up with an adapter box. It even allows keeping the printer connected, for easy printing of pictures 🙂 https://www.colino.net/wordpress/shop/apple-ii-hardware/apple-ii-quicktake-connector-box/ #RetroComputing #AppleII
