Hello, and welcome to Episode 138 of the Floppy Days Podcast for April, 2024! My name is Randy Kindig and I host this podcast about beautiful, obsolete, extremely interesting computers of 35 to 45 years ago, when computer diversity was abundant.
This episode is an interview show, where we talk with Hans Franke. Hans is very active in the classic computer community, being an organizer of the European Vintage Computer show AND curator of a computer museum! We discuss both of these things with Hans and learn more about the vintage computer scene in Europe.
I actually have several interviews completed and queued up to publish. So, while I continue to work on covering the next computer in the timeline, expect several interviews in the near term. I won’t go into details, but these are great interviews that I think you will enjoy.
I also wanted to mention those listeners who appreciate the show enough to donate through patreon.com. I really appreciate you guys and it helps offset the cost of running the podcast.
