This month on Open Apple, Mike and Ken chat with Mike Willegal, Apple-1 and Apple II reproduction expert extraordinaire. His topic is hot this month: five Apple-1 computers were simultaneously on display at the History San Jose museum; one is being auctioned online; Willegal was interviewed for a Kickstarter-funded book about the Apple-1; and his clones are appearing in a feature-length film about Steve Jobs — what a guy! He even went to Vintage Computer Festival Southeast this spring, though he’ll be absent from VCF Southwest, KansasFest, and Oz KFest, all occurring this summer. We watch the trailer for the Jobs movie and find we all have different reasons to see (or skip) Ashton Kutcher in the title role. We may or may not have dressed up to see the recent Star Trek and Man of Steel films; maybe we’ll fit the part by wearing some Apple t-shirts from 1986 to see Jobs.Click past the jump for links mentioned in this episode.Introduction (User Login (Mike Willegal’s homepageVintage Computer Festival (VCF) East 7.0VCF Southeast 1.0Apple II Rev 0 motherboard cloneApple-1 Mimeo ProjectApple-1 RegistryComputerworld: Apple-1 goes for $213K in Christie’s auctionVince Briel’s Replica 1Mike Willegal’s SCELBI reproductionII News (Melissa Barron on the Open Apple podcastMelissa’s glitch art to appear at the Furtherfield Gallery in LondonKansasFestThe 30th anniversary of WarGamesOz KFestMt.
