Retro Computing talk at Au Contraire SF Convention

I have just been confirmed to speak at Au Contraire , New Zealand's 31st National Science Fiction convention in Wellington. If you're keen to come along, I'll be on at 10 or 11am on Saturday 28th - watch the programme for details. Registrations close this week I think. I'm sure it will come as no surprise to those who know me that I will be speaking about old computers:

The 80s in 8-bits: The Home Computer Revolution

The late 1970s through to early 1990s were a golden age of personal computing. For a decade and a half hundreds of manufacturers produced thousands of models, all unique with their very own capabilities, programming languages and software. Many of us today got our first taste of computing on computers like the Apple II, Sinclair ZX81, Commodore Vic-20 or Atari 400.

For the past 15 years Andrew Stephen has been collecting computers from this vibrant era of computing history. Drawing from over 150 computers in his personal collection, Andrew will present a personal account of the machines and the personal computer revolution.
