After dieHard vanished from the face of the magazine stands and the post, I found myself starting over again. I searched the world high and wide for a part-time telecommuting position, while writing Shareware. I even started writing a book. I was still supporting the computers I love most through TV/BUG's Bug Bytes and ABUG's Home Computer News. I posted Shareware under noesis0 on places like Delphi, CompuServe, and many BBSs.
Finally, I decided to accept my retirement. I became a full- time- stay- at- home- Daddy all over again with many new additions to the family. I now have nine children (who this year, will be): Antony (
Things change.
Life took a large change after my Mom passed. I am now a raw milk dairy farmer. We have a cow named Clarabelle. She is a Jersey. We also have loads of free range chickens and a cat named Isotope!
This site is an attempt to offer support to those who have longed for those amusing anecdotes and slight insights I have offered over the years through various publications, but have lost track of them one way or another, as well as those who seek help with computers of long ago.
The Q & A section under Archaic Computer is a place to pose questions concerning those computers of the long ago. It is a pseudo-open forum where questions and answers can be sent for posting.
My softs are in the Noesis Creationsofts area.
Archaic Computer covers a wide variety of subjects from product reviews to stories from the computer industry annals. There is also a sprinking of other tech, including once new tech as tablets, and cameras.
The Antique Computer Store used to feature Antique computers, and related items for those who missed out on a great era or just wanted to have a great old machine. Unfortuneately time caught up with the project and it slowly slid to a stop and after several years of inactivity, I donated the machines, books and softs (along with all the TVBUG & ABUG stuff) to the Reuseam in Garden City, Idaho.
There is even a news area for announcements from the long ago and the here and now.
This site proves that "commodore does not equal commodore," in that everything is seen from the USA point of view. Machines, like the 264, that didn't make it in the US, may have appeared in other parts of the World. So keep that in mind when an article says something did or didn't happen.
I hope you enjoy this site as it grows over the weeks, months and years to come.
