24 January 2026 Meeting

[J.P. McGlinn]

Date:       24 January 2026

Time:       11am - 4pm

Place:      Clubhouse
            Kirkland, WA
Directions: https://www.sea-rcs.com/more-about-srcs/

It’s nearly the end of January, how are your retrocomputing projects doing? Let’s see them this weekend at SRCS!

The format of Seattle Retro-Computing Society (SRCS) meetings is roughly a disorganized show-and-tell or exhibition of member computer systems or related artifacts. Generally we don't have an organized presentation but if this interests you please contact us. SRCS meets on the fourth Saturday of each month with some adjustment in December for Christmas.

SRCS meetings are graciously hosted at a member's residence, please respect the space and neighbors. We have power and a good amount of table space available for you to bring your retro computing system to show, demonstrate, or in some cases repair. We are not a repair facility, please coordinate any assistance offline or in the SRCS social medias - maillist/googlegroup or Facebook. If you show up with a broken computer and no plan you should expect some disappointment.

If you choose to bring a snack, food, or drink item to share, we have a table for refreshments. Have a large system, special network or power requirements? Please check first if we are able to accommodate or make special arrangements to best show your system.

Oh hey.  I was chatting w/ various people over the course of the day
about a few books I'm reading. Figured they might be interesting to a

general audience, so forwarding it to the list.  You should find a HTML
and text files attached.

Also...  The Asianometry YouTube channel just posted a video about an
old-school Toshiba laptop which they think is the first "modern"
laptop.  I'm sure people would want to argue the point, but the video
has many references and a survey of Japanese microcomputers in the 80s
and 90s.  I enjoyed it.  I think most people on the list might as well.
