Defcon, the world’s largest hacker convention, is this coming weekend in Las Vegas. While the convention generally focuses on breaking new technology, digital archivist [Jason Scott] has an interesting surprise for attendees this year. With some help from VintageTech, he’ll be assembling a massive den of retro computing machinery. They’ll have fully functional systems like the PDP-11/70 for people to play with. It sure to be one of the more unique things to see at the con.
Good way to warm up that water…
That would actually be pretty awesome, shame im a britfag and cant go.
never been to one, but since i live in vegas i wont miss it. on a side note, i work at las vegas tattoo and souvenir (702) 384-7379. come on in and get a hackaday tattoo by a geek/artist. ask for Gadget.
The plastic bottles give it away. It could very well pass for a ye olde photo.
@svofski
They aren’t old bottles, if you look closely, I believe it is actually rubbing alcohol, which makes sense if he’s restoring an old dusty machine.
@Punkguyta, @svofski never said they were old bottles, he said that they were plastic bottles, thus not looking old, your both arguing the same side…
“dencon”
Jea, wats dencon ?
Is that a necktie hanging on that tape drive door?
//to use the computers, you must have a 70s hairstyle
You are in a twisty maze of passageways, all alike.

Any hackaday editors going to defcon? I saw eliot at defcon15, and still have my t-shirt :)
Fuck off with the goddamn plastic bottles. I can hack into your grannies panties with that thing…
BTW, its crystal gyser water. Its in a popular six pack form, Shrink wrapped to prevent bottles excaping. Its usually on sale at your neighbor hood store for about $ 2.89
any other questions?
