Panelists: Earl Evans (hosting), Bill Degnan, David Greelish, Paul Hagstrom, Michael Mulhern, and Jack Nutting Topic: Bicentepisodial review This is episode 200 of a podcast whose first episode was almost exactly 9 years ago (October 23, 2010). A lot has changed since then, but also not much has changed since then. But we are now almost a decade wiser (and, yes, maybe we’ll do another milestone episode in a year, when the podcast itself becomes, by some definitions, "retro"). So, this might be an opportune time to look back on what has happened in the past nine years in the retrocomputing endeavor. How has your own relationship to it changed personally? What advances have had the most impact? What does it portend for the future?

Floppy Days Episode 88 - The Apple III - Part 2 Hi, all, and welcome to Floppy Days #88 for December, 2018.  I’m your host, Randy Kindig, and it’s hard to believe that 2018 is coming to an end.  I hope you all had a great year! As stated in the last show, we are into the year 1981 for computer introductions and we are covering the Apple II’s more powerful sibling, the Apple III.  This is part 2 of the 2-part series and will again have Paul Hagstrom, prolific podcaster himself, to help me cover this machine. We will continue where we left off the last show, and will cover magazines, books, software, emulators, Web sites and a whole lot more.  Stay tuned to learn more than you ever wanted to know about the Apple III.

The Apple III - Part 1 Hello, everyone, and welcome to Episode 87 of the Floppy Days Podcast for November, 2018.  In the timeline, we continue to cover machines that were released in the year 1980. The topic of this show is a machine that while it came from a very well-known computer company, was never popular enough to make a large splash in the computer market.  Nevertheless, it was an important piece in the history of personal computers and I’m happy to bring it to you this month. Of course, the machine that we’re talking about, as you already know from the excellent memories intro by Mike Maginnis, is the Apple II’s more powerful brother, the Apple III. I’m very happy to have one of the well-known members of the Apple III community today, and co-host of the Apple III podcast “Drop III Inches” as well as a cohost of the RetroComputing Roundtable Podcast, Mr. Paul Hagstrom, assist me with this month’s topic.
