	Retrocomputing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Retrocomputing is a term used to describe the use of old computer hardware and software.
		Retrocomputing is classed as a hobby and recreation, enthusiasts often collect valuable hardware and software and also make use of it.
		A more serious line of retrocomputing is part of the history of computing.

	jargon, node: retrocomputing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		retrocomputing /ret'-roh-k*m-pyoo'ting/ /n./ Refers to emulations of way-behind-the-state-of-the-art hardware or software, or implementations of never-was-state-of-the-art; esp. if such implementations are elaborate practical jokes and/or parodies, written mostly for hack value, of more `serious' designs.
		Perhaps the most widely distributed retrocomputing utility was the `pnch(6)' or `bcd(6)' program on V7 and other early Unix versions, which would accept up to 80 characters of text argument and display the corresponding pattern in punched card code.
		Other well-known retrocomputing hacks have included the programming language INTERCAL, a JCL-emulating shell for Unix, the card-punch-emulating editor named 029, and various elaborate PDP-11 hardware emulators and RT-11 OS emulators written just to keep an old, sourceless Zork binary running.

		Retrocomputing is the use of computer hardware generally judged obsolete.
		One example would be to use a Cambridge Z88 or a Tandy Model 100 to do your work instead of the latest Pentium, multimedia laptop.
		It's a bit different and seems to be mostly based on wanting games based on good gameplay instead of effects.

	The Retrocomputing Museum
		The Retrocomputing Museum is dedicated to programs that induce sensations that hover somewhere between nostalgia and nausea — the freaks, jokes, and fossils of computing history.
		And this must be the ultimate retrocomputing-in-software project; an emulator of Babbage's Analytical Engine, with lots of supporting documentation.
		Perhaps the most remarkable hardware retrocomputing hack yet was Tony Sale's painstaking reconstruction of the Colossus machine, a parallel computer built for codebreaking during WWII and kept secret for fifty years afterwards.

		Retrocomputing is (to me) computing with computers that are old (age being a relative thing).
		I myself am 22 years old, so a lot of this stuff looks new to some other Retrocomputing people out there.
		Most everything I have is able to run Unix; if it can't run Unix, my roommate gets it (his OS of choice is CP/M).

		jwz - Dali Clock: further adventures in retrocomputing
		So, for those of you tuning in late, back in 1991 I wrote this program called XDaliClock, which is a clone of a similar program that I had on my Mac in 1984.
		Rumor has it that OfficeMax still sells DS/DD floppies, though, so that means that it's at least possible to obtain recently-manufactured blank media.
