怀旧日剧
They don’t build computers like they used to. No, seriously, they really don’t. Thick beige plastic. A solid steel chassis. The weight of a fully loaded suitcase. Vintage computers were serious business. There was a sea of competition with a ton of companies like Texas Instruments, IBM and Apple vying for market share. Buying a computer back then was a big deal and for most it was a magical, groundbreaking experience that would define their computing experience for years to come.
他们没有像过去那样建造计算机。 不, 真的 ,他们真的没有。 厚米色塑料。 坚固的钢制底盘。 满载行李箱的重量。 老式计算机是严肃的事情。 与众多公司如德州仪器(Texas Instruments),IBM和Apple争夺市场份额竞争激烈。 当时购置一台电脑是一件大事,对于大多数人而言,这是一次神奇的,开创性的体验,它将定义他们未来几年的计算体验。
Today, the world of computing has changed drastically from what it once was. You can play amazingly high quality games right on your smartphone or tablet. Buying a new computer happens at the click of a button and prices (much like the weight) have been reduced significantly. Today computer ownership is ubiquitous whether you like it or not.
今天,计算世界已经从过去发生了巨大变化。 您可以在智能手机或平板电脑上直接玩高质量的游戏。 只需按一下按钮,即可购买新计算机,并且价格(很像重量)大大降低了。 如今,无论您是否喜欢,计算机所有权已无处不在。
The problem with computers today is that they have been commoditized to the point of a toaster or a curling iron. Even high-end custom PCs can still have a cheap feel to them. All of the low-level functions of modern computer components are obfuscated behind an ocean of silicon. The days of being able to repair most components at home are gone. If something breaks, you toss it out and buy a new one (or put it in the oven).
当今计算机的问题在于它们已经被商品化到烤面包机或电熨斗的地步。 即使是高端定制PC,它们的价格也仍然便宜。 现代计算机组件的所有底层功能都被硅的海洋所掩盖。 能够在家中维修大多数组件的日子已经一去不复返了。 如果有东西破损,可以扔掉并购买新的(或放入烤箱中 )。
Fear not, because the world of vintage computers is as strong as ever today and there’s a ton of enthusiasts who still love old hardware. The magic of learning exactly how old systems work. The allure of obscure components. The stories that products of the past hold. I want to explore some excellent places, projects and people that keep the history of computing alive and well. Let’s take a look.
不要害怕,因为老式电脑的世界是强如今天曾经有一吨爱好者谁仍然爱老的硬件。 确切了解旧系统如何工作的魔力。 晦涩的组件的魅力。 过去的产品所拥有的故事。 我想探索一些优秀的场所,项目和人员,这些都可以使计算的历史保持生机盎然。 让我们来看看。
YouTube频道 (YouTube Channels)
CuriousMarc tops this list for his sheer variety of content and highly thorough engineering detail in every video. This guy is amazing. Marc Verdiell’s credentials in the world of computing are prestigious. He holds a PhD in Optoelectronics, has been a leading member at numerous Bay Area startups and can regularly be seen working on mainframes at the Computer History Museum. You can read even more about his incredible credentials on LinkedIn.
CuriousMarc凭借其丰富的内容和每个视频中极为详尽的工程细节而荣登榜首。 这个家伙真了不起。 Marc Verdiell在计算机领域享有盛誉。 他拥有光电学博士学位,曾是众多湾区初创公司的领导成员,并且经常在计算机历史博物馆中看到他在大型机上工作。 您可以在LinkedIn上阅读有关他令人难以置信的凭据的更多信息。
Marc’s YouTube channel has a ton of content. He makes videos covering a wide variety of historically significant computer hardware. He even has an entire series on restoring the guidance computer from the Apollo. How cool is that? There is a great “trailer” for some of Marc’s work available from Gizmodo on YouTube that showcases how he works and his love for computer history. You can also check out his website to learn more about his vision and pickup some awesome merchandise too.
马克的YouTube频道有一吨的内容。 他制作的视频涵盖了各种具有历史意义的计算机硬件。 他甚至还提供了有关从阿波罗还原制导计算机的完整系列文章。 多么酷啊? Gizmodo在YouTube上提供了Marc的某些作品的出色“预告片”,展示了他的工作方式以及对计算机历史的热爱。 您也可以访问他的网站,以了解有关他的愿景的更多信息,还可以购买一些很棒的商品。
Lazy Game Reviews (LGR) is another great channel centered around vintage gaming with a ton of legendary computing setups sprinkled in. This channel showcases a ton of very well produced content that includes retro game reviews, how-to guides and even reviews of some newer products modeled to look like old ones (like this case from Checkmate).
懒惰游戏评论(LGR)是另一个伟大的频道,围绕老式游戏,其中散布着大量的传奇计算设置。该频道展示了大量制作精良的内容,其中包括复古游戏评论,操作指南,甚至是一些较新的评论建模为看起来像旧产品的产品(例如Checkmate的这种情况 )。
Unlike Marc Verdiell who straps you to an engineering overload rocket going 12,000 Kph, Clint from LGR takes you on a pleasant leisurely ride down memory lane. The videos on LGR make you long for the days of playing Maniac Mansion on the Commodore 64 or Pong on the Intellivision. It is a magical experience watching these systems that were once the centerpieces of family households being restored to their original glory.
与Marc Verdiell将您束缚在12,000 Kph的工程超载火箭上不同,LGR的Clint会带您沿着令人愉悦的休闲记忆道行驶。 LGR上的视频让您渴望在Commodore 64上玩Maniac Mansion或在Intellivision上玩Pong。 观看这些曾经是家庭住宅恢复其原始荣耀的核心系统的系统,这真是一种神奇的体验。
图书 (Books)
Home Computers: 100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation (The MIT Press)
家用计算机:定义数字时代的100个图标(麻省理工学院出版社)
amazon.comamazon.comHome Computers is a wonderful text containing high-quality prints and information about many popular vintage machines. This rests in the “coffee table” category of books because its not really something you pickup and read cover-to-cover. This is a book for admiring the beautiful design of these machines with brief glimpses into the minds that created them.
家用计算机是一本精美的文字,其中包含高质量的印刷品以及许多流行的老式机器的信息。 这属于书籍的“咖啡桌”类别,因为它并不是您真正需要阅读和阅读的封面。 这是一本书,旨在通过简要介绍一下创造它们的思想来欣赏这些机器的精美设计。
Each section has a quick history of the machine, some of the key events that happened throughout its lifetime and basic specifications. The highlights here are the glamour shots of each machine.
每个部分都有机器的快速历史记录,以及在机器的整个使用寿命和基本规格中发生的一些关键事件。 这里的亮点是每台机器的魅力镜头。
Core Memory: A Visual Survey of Vintage Computers
核心内存:老式计算机的视觉调查
amazon.comamazon.comKeeping with the theme of “coffee table” books, Core Memory is another incredible compendium of vintage photos and text. This book focuses less on home computing and more on the important machines of history whether meant for the home or business.
与“咖啡桌”书籍的主题保持一致,Core Memory是老式照片和文字的另一个不可思议的纲要。 本书较少关注家庭计算,而更多地关注重要的历史机器,无论是用于家庭还是企业。
Although both of these books are not novels chronicling the rise and fall of various technology companies throughout time, they are just as important. These volumes showcase the striking beauty and feats of design and engineering inherent in many historic machines. Sure, some may be drab beige boxes that were only produced as a soulless cash grab, but others are true masterpieces whose silhouette shows how much mind, heart and soul went into developing them.
尽管这两本书都不是一本小说,记载了各种技术公司在整个时期的兴衰,但它们同样重要。 这些书展示了许多历史悠久的机器所固有的惊人的设计和工程壮举。 当然,有些可能是单调的米色盒子,它们只是作为无情的现金而生产的,而另一些则是真正的杰作,其轮廓显示出开发它们所花费的精力,心灵和灵魂。
