Computer related hobby interests
Although I use machines with PC architecture for my work, I enjoy working with vintage computers as a hobby, especially the Heahtkit 8-bit machines. If you would like to enter discussions with some people who know a lot about vintage Heathkit equipment, check out the SEBHC group on Google Groups. There are numerous projects discussed there. Here are some of mine.
