Still Radio Shack to me
August 12, 2009They can change their name to “The Shack”, but Radio Shack will always have a place in my heart. I actually sold Tandy computers for a brief period and remember the “trash 80” well. If you want to take a trip down memory lane, head over to a archive of Radio Shack catalogs at radioshackcatalogs.com, it’s great retro fun!

The first Windows Office Suite?
March 21, 2009Digging through my pile of trash, I mean tech memorabilia, I found some manuals that brought back some fond memories, the Palantir “win” series. Remember them? Probably not. Remember Spring Comdex? (yes they used to have 2 a year), how about Windows World?
Anyways, Palantir had one of the first word processors, project management, and database applications for Windows 1.X. Some of the system requirements are: “IBM PC/XT/AT, Compaq, or compatible”, “MS-DOS 2.0 or later”, “512K or memory”.
I was able to still find a PR link from the 1987 Spring Comdex about Palantir.
The graphics on these were “killer”, enjoy.

The Wheel
March 3, 2009Remember the old days? Comdex with Microsoft, Lotus, and WordPerfect? I thought I’d start off my blog with some fun. I have all kinds of stuff lying around (I never throw anything away). I found an old VHS with some old promos on it. This one is a take off of Wheel of Fortune with Wendy Redmond versus Back Slash. Enjoy it while you can.
