We made it into the paper today!

Today was the first time that Old Green Machines appeared in a newpaper. You can see the OGM part near the end of this page:

Johnny St. Vrain Oct 12, 2009 in the Longmont Times Call.

Too bad they did not include a link to our blog or website, as the first several calls and emails we got were from people wanting to give us broken monitors.....

One person, though, has a TV that might be perfect for something purchased this last weekend for a mere ten bucks: a Timex Sinclair 1000 computer (including an expansion that takes the memory from 2K to 16K! This old computer will look awesome on a vintage TV. Look for a report to follow when we actually start programming it.

  2. I think they'll do an article soon. I just want to make sure we've done at least one repair, one new creation, one dissection and have student blog entries first.
