All of the cool tech stuff is in CA.

Not true, there are folks scattered all over the country with small to large collections of vintage computing devices. And like car buffs, they're only too glad to get together and trade stories or show off their treasures. Granted there are higher concentrations in California and a few institutions, but that's not all there is by any stretch.

Head over to the ClassicCmp web site and get yourself on the mailing list. The audience is far, far wider than just Apple II gear but they all share the affliction. I'm positive you'll find some folks nearby if you want to.

To get to specific stuff head over to the Vintage Computer Festival (and far more) web site and navigate to the Links section. You want Apple II stuff, Sellam has loads of links for that. You want DEC minicomputer stuff, that's there too. Stories of the analog computers pioneered in the 1930s? Yeah, that's there too. And fun stuff like links to famous hacks, games, etc.

10MB broadband connection to the Internet? US$50/month.
Dual core 2.4GHz laptop to surf the web? US$2,000.
Keeping the old stuff running? Priceless.
