Oh man, HOPE Number 6 was a blast. It started off slow on the first day, but it really picked up on Saturday and Sunday. One of my favorite parts was when The Cheshire Catalyst ran out after the Retrocomputing panel so he could contact the ISS with his Trash-80 (via packet).

There was so much more that is too much to describe, so here are some pictures (your task is to spot me in a few of them, post links in the comments).

Oh yeah, I got BBS: A Documentary. Give me a message if you wants a copy (it’s a three DVDs and Creative Commons’ed).

A new HOPE

I’ll be at HOPE Number 6 this weekend. If anybody wants to meet up, give me a call.

Also, I resurrected the beige Powemac G3 (it’s hard disk failed a few months ago and I’ve been trying to find a OS 9 disc (or image), which I finally got). Now for some awesome Oregon Trail action.
