The History of Personal Computing

eBay Episode 3 – Coleco Adam and MSX


Listen Later

David and Jeff have just awakened from their Thanksgiving Day, tryptophan and carbohydrate induced comas and recorded the next edition of the History of Personal Computing, eBay edition.

You may have discovered that this series a little more laid back than the original shows. It is certainly a fun way to discuss these vintage systems, mixing together personal memories and an occasional wistfulness over many unobtainable varieties of personal computing systems available back in the day.

The systems discussed in this episode are the Coleco Adam and the MSX platform of computing systems.
