My 50th birthday coincided with disturbing events in my beloved country, Lebanon. On a positive note, I met the founder of Atari, Nolan Bushnell, who founded Atari 50 years ago. It is with Atari that my computer career first began at the age of six. The first thing that I said to Mr Nolan was thank you for what you invented, which shaped my life forever. I then got my 50-year Atari signed by him. It will be framed and hung in my home office as a reminder of such a beautiful invention. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #atari

It's sad to see rare artifacts from computing history sold in an auction.It's sad to see rare artifacts from computing history sold in an auction. The items were originally part of Paul Allen’s Living Computer Museum in Seattle, previously open to the public for many years. After his recent passing, his family is selling them all away, the proceeds will vanish into trusts, and the museum is permanently closed. Thankfully, the Computer History Museum in California still exists. https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/firsts-history-computing-paul-g-allen-collection/lots/3726?COSID=&cid=sh_hub&bid= #retrocomputing
