  • Retrocomputing As Preservation and Remix
    Retrocomputing as Preservation and Remix Yuri Takhteyev Quinn DuPont University of Toronto University of Toronto [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper looks at the world of retrocomputing, a constellation of largely non-professional practices involving old computing technology. Retrocomputing includes many activities that can be seen as constituting “preservation.” At the same time, it is often transformative, producing assemblages that “remix” fragments from the past with newer elements or joining together historic components that were never combined before. While such “remix” may seem to undermine preservation, it allows for fragments of computing history to be reintegrated into a living, ongoing practice, contributing to preservation in a broader sense. The seemingly unorganized nature of retrocomputing assemblages also provides space for alternative “situated knowledges” and histories of computing, which can sometimes be quite sophisticated. Recognizing such alternative epistemologies paves the way for alternative approaches to preservation. Keywords: retrocomputing, software preservation, remix Recovering #popsource In late March of 2012 Jordan Mechner received a shipment from his father, a box full of old floppies. Among them was a 3.5 inch disk labelled: “Prince of Persia / Source Code (Apple) / ©1989 Jordan Mechner (Original).” Mechner’s announcement of this find on his blog the next day took the world of nerds by storm.1 Prince of Persia, a game that Mechner single-handedly developed in the late 1980s, revolutionized computer games when it came out due to its surprisingly realistic representation of human movement. After being ported to DOS and Apple’s Mac OS in the early 1990s the game sold 2 million copies (Pham, 2001).

Käyttöjärjestelmissä Applen pahin kilpailija Microsoft on saavuttanut markkina-asemansa lisensoimalla käyttöjärjestelmänsä kenelle tahansa, Apple sen sijaan on sitonut käyttöjärjestelmänsä tiukasti itse valmistamiinsa tieto- koneisiin. Muun muassa tämän takia Applen markkinaosuus henkilökohtaisista tie- tokoneista on pysynyt matalana viimeiset 20 vuotta. Pienestä markkinaosuudestaan huolimatta sen tuotteet ovat aina herättäneet huomiota. Apple on käyttöjärjestel- missään esitellyt monia mullistavia teknologioita. Tämän esitelmän tarkoitus on esi- tellä Applen käyttöjärjestelmiä ja niitä varten kehitettyjen tietokoneiden kehitystä, historiaa ja teknisiä ominaisuuksia.

The printed article is much better than the draft that you saw. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain copies of all of your various articles concerning the Cat and Information Appliance. I did finally receive your LEAP paper from my local public library via inter-library loan, but the library could not locate your Venture Vulture paper. I received the LEAP paper after I had sent the final Cat paper for publication so was not able to correctly document LEAP's technology. In an e-mail to me from at least a month ago you said that if I sent you an envelope large enough for a SwyftCard and return postage that you would send me one. Please use the envelope that I've sent this letter in for this purpose. You should also find here self-sticking stamps for the postage and a mailing label with my mailing address. I would also very much like, if possible, to obtain a user's manual for the SwyftCard. From your comments in Microsoft's book Programmers at Work this manual seems to be very well written. There is no rush in returning this envelope so please take your time. I am slowly updating my Cat paper to add a correct description of LEAP and more information about the people behind the Cat and its hardware and software.

  • Sistem Operasi Macintosh
    SISTEM OPERASI MACINTOSH Macintosh Operating System (MAC OS) merupakan system operasi komputer yang dibuat oleh Apple. Apple yang sebelumnya bernama Apple Computer, Inc adalah sebuah perusahaan Silicon Valley berbasis di Cupertino, California, yang bergerak dalam bidang teknologi komputer. Apple membantu bermulanya revolusi komputer pribadi pada tahun 1970-an dengan produknya Apple II dan memajukannya sejak tahun 1980-an hingga sekarang dengan Macintosh. Macintosh Operating System merupakan OS yang pertama mengunakan sistem GUI (Graphical User Interface). Para pemakai komputer begitu takjub melihat Macintosh yang sangat ramah dalam melayani pemakai komputer. Pemakai tidak perlu banyak menulis perintah dengan menggunakan teks, cukup menunjuk gambar-gambar yang ada sesuai pada penggunaan GUI pada saat itu, maka dengan cepat Macintosh akan mengerjakan tugas sesuai gambar yang ditunjuk.

I once told people that I carried around in my billfold, where most people have pictures of their children, a seasonally-adjusted chart of the rate at which computer industry pundits were declaring the death of the Apple II. It's always been ridiculous. Let me be clear: When I started this company six years ago, there were just as many unfounded rumors about Apple's upcoming discontinuance of the Apple II line as there are today. Here's why we've never believed these rumors and why you shouldn't either: • Apple has sold over 5 million Apple lis (well over half of them since the Macintosh was introduced, incidentally) and continues to sell about half a billion dollars worth of them each year. Public companies like Apple don't just stop selling profitable products, product lines this large, or brand names as well known as this one.
