Show notes
Greetings, Retrocomputing Fans!

Happy to have you here for show #3!

This episode of the Retrobits Podcast focuses on a couple of popular

languages from the 80s, and open-source languages in active development that
carry on and extend the legacy of those languages.  Here are some of the
URLs referenced in the show:

The magazine New Scientist had a

great article on
vintage computing
.
Blake Patterson scribes the Byte Cellar
Blog
on retro computing.  Interesting stuff, and a
very well-decorated
retro room!
The Vintage Computer Festival is an international event that celebrates the history of computing. It's a show for retrocomputing! I'm hoping to go to the 8.0 event in November 2005.
The Computer History Museum is
home to one of the largest collections of computing artifacts in the world.
Borland maintains a Museum where old
version of the Turbo languages can be downloaded.
The Free Pascal project carries on
Turbo Pascal and Delphi compatible legacy today.
The xHarbour project provides an extended
xBase compiler.
