懷舊日劇

They don’t build computers like they used to. No, seriously, they really don’t. Thick beige plastic. A solid steel chassis. The weight of a fully loaded suitcase. Vintage computers were serious business. There was a sea of competition with a ton of companies like Texas Instruments, IBM and Apple vying for market share. Buying a computer back then was a big deal and for most it was a magical, groundbreaking experience that would define their computing experience for years to come.

他們沒有像過去那樣建造計算機。 不， 真的 ，他們真的沒有。 厚米色塑料。 堅固的鋼制底盤。 滿載行李箱的重量。 老式計算機是嚴肅的事情。 與眾多公司如德州儀器(Texas Instruments)，IBM和Apple爭奪市場份額競爭激烈。 當時購置一臺電腦是一件大事，對于大多數人而言，這是一次神奇的，開創性的體驗，它將定義他們未來幾年的計算體驗。

Today, the world of computing has changed drastically from what it once was. You can play amazingly high quality games right on your smartphone or tablet. Buying a new computer happens at the click of a button and prices (much like the weight) have been reduced significantly. Today computer ownership is ubiquitous whether you like it or not.

今天，計算世界已經從過去發生了巨大變化。 您可以在智能手機或平板電腦上直接玩高質量的游戲。 只需按一下按鈕，即可購買新計算機，并且價格(很像重量)大大降低了。 如今，無論您是否喜歡，計算機所有權已無處不在。

The problem with computers today is that they have been commoditized to the point of a toaster or a curling iron. Even high-end custom PCs can still have a cheap feel to them. All of the low-level functions of modern computer components are obfuscated behind an ocean of silicon. The days of being able to repair most components at home are gone. If something breaks, you toss it out and buy a new one (or put it in the oven).

當今計算機的問題在于它們已經被商品化到烤面包機或電熨斗的地步。 即使是高端定制PC，它們的價格也仍然便宜。 現代計算機組件的所有底層功能都被硅的海洋所掩蓋。 能夠在家中維修大多數組件的日子已經一去不復返了。 如果有東西破損，可以扔掉并購買新的(或放入烤箱中 )。

Fear not, because the world of vintage computers is as strong as ever today and there’s a ton of enthusiasts who still love old hardware. The magic of learning exactly how old systems work. The allure of obscure components. The stories that products of the past hold. I want to explore some excellent places, projects and people that keep the history of computing alive and well. Let’s take a look.

不要害怕，因為老式電腦的世界是強如今天曾經有一噸愛好者誰仍然愛老的硬件。 確切了解舊系統如何工作的魔力。 晦澀的組件的魅力。 過去的產品所擁有的故事。 我想探索一些優秀的場所，項目和人員，這些都可以使計算的歷史保持生機盎然。 讓我們來看看。

YouTube頻道 (YouTube Channels)

CuriousMarc tops this list for his sheer variety of content and highly thorough engineering detail in every video. This guy is amazing. Marc Verdiell’s credentials in the world of computing are prestigious. He holds a PhD in Optoelectronics, has been a leading member at numerous Bay Area startups and can regularly be seen working on mainframes at the Computer History Museum. You can read even more about his incredible credentials on LinkedIn.

CuriousMarc憑借其豐富的內容和每個視頻中極為詳盡的工程細節而榮登榜首。 這個家伙真了不起。 Marc Verdiell在計算機領域享有盛譽。 他擁有光電學博士學位，曾是眾多灣區初創公司的領導成員，并且經常在計算機歷史博物館中看到他在大型機上工作。 您可以在LinkedIn上閱讀有關他令人難以置信的憑據的更多信息。

Marc’s YouTube channel has a ton of content. He makes videos covering a wide variety of historically significant computer hardware. He even has an entire series on restoring the guidance computer from the Apollo. How cool is that? There is a great “trailer” for some of Marc’s work available from Gizmodo on YouTube that showcases how he works and his love for computer history. You can also check out his website to learn more about his vision and pickup some awesome merchandise too.

馬克的YouTube頻道有一噸的內容。 他制作的視頻涵蓋了各種具有歷史意義的計算機硬件。 他甚至還提供了有關從阿波羅還原制導計算機的完整系列文章。 多么酷啊？ Gizmodo在YouTube上提供了Marc的某些作品的出色“預告片”，展示了他的工作方式以及對計算機歷史的熱愛。 您也可以訪問他的網站，以了解有關他的愿景的更多信息，還可以購買一些很棒的商品。

Lazy Game Reviews (LGR) is another great channel centered around vintage gaming with a ton of legendary computing setups sprinkled in. This channel showcases a ton of very well produced content that includes retro game reviews, how-to guides and even reviews of some newer products modeled to look like old ones (like this case from Checkmate).

懶惰游戲評論(LGR)是另一個偉大的頻道，圍繞老式游戲，其中散布著大量的傳奇計算設置。該頻道展示了大量制作精良的內容，其中包括復古游戲評論，操作指南，甚至是一些較新的評論建模為看起來像舊產品的產品(例如Checkmate的這種情況 )。

Unlike Marc Verdiell who straps you to an engineering overload rocket going 12,000 Kph, Clint from LGR takes you on a pleasant leisurely ride down memory lane. The videos on LGR make you long for the days of playing Maniac Mansion on the Commodore 64 or Pong on the Intellivision. It is a magical experience watching these systems that were once the centerpieces of family households being restored to their original glory.

與Marc Verdiell將您束縛在12,000 Kph的工程超載火箭上不同，LGR的Clint會帶您沿著令人愉悅的休閑記憶道行駛。 LGR上的視頻讓您渴望在Commodore 64上玩Maniac Mansion或在Intellivision上玩Pong。 觀看這些曾經是家庭住宅恢復其原始榮耀的核心系統的系統，這真是一種神奇的體驗。

圖書 (Books)

Home Computers: 100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation (The MIT Press)

家用計算機：定義數字時代的100個圖標(麻省理工學院出版社)

amazon.comamazon.com

Home Computers is a wonderful text containing high-quality prints and information about many popular vintage machines. This rests in the “coffee table” category of books because its not really something you pickup and read cover-to-cover. This is a book for admiring the beautiful design of these machines with brief glimpses into the minds that created them.

家用計算機是一本精美的文字，其中包含高質量的印刷品以及許多流行的老式機器的信息。 這屬于書籍的“咖啡桌”類別，因為它并不是您真正需要閱讀和閱讀的封面。 這是一本書，旨在通過簡要介紹一下創造它們的思想來欣賞這些機器的精美設計。

Each section has a quick history of the machine, some of the key events that happened throughout its lifetime and basic specifications. The highlights here are the glamour shots of each machine.

每個部分都有機器的快速歷史記錄，以及在機器的整個使用壽命和基本規格中發生的一些關鍵事件。 這里的亮點是每臺機器的魅力鏡頭。

Core Memory: A Visual Survey of Vintage Computers

核心內存：老式計算機的視覺調查

amazon.comamazon.com

Keeping with the theme of “coffee table” books, Core Memory is another incredible compendium of vintage photos and text. This book focuses less on home computing and more on the important machines of history whether meant for the home or business.

與“咖啡桌”書籍的主題保持一致，Core Memory是老式照片和文字的另一個不可思議的綱要。 本書較少關注家庭計算，而更多地關注重要的歷史機器，無論是用于家庭還是企業。

Although both of these books are not novels chronicling the rise and fall of various technology companies throughout time, they are just as important. These volumes showcase the striking beauty and feats of design and engineering inherent in many historic machines. Sure, some may be drab beige boxes that were only produced as a soulless cash grab, but others are true masterpieces whose silhouette shows how much mind, heart and soul went into developing them.

盡管這兩本書都不是一本小說，記載了各種技術公司在整個時期的興衰，但它們同樣重要。 這些書展示了許多歷史悠久的機器所固有的驚人的設計和工程壯舉。 當然，有些可能是單調的米色盒子，它們只是作為無情的現金而生產的，而另一些則是真正的杰作，其輪廓顯示出開發它們所花費的精力，心靈和靈魂。

買賣硬件 (Buying & Selling Hardware)

Most of the time if you’re hunting for some of your own vintage computer hardware you can find pieces here and there on eBay or Craigslist. What about the pieces that are more rare or difficult to transport? There are a number of great auxiliary resources available for purchasing used gear available below:

結論 (Conclusion)

The world of computer history spans many years, corporations and instrumental figures. Embracing the origins of these machines can be an enchanting experience and shows us just how far we’ve come. Just like classic cars, these pieces of history must be saved, restored and admired not left to collect dust or thrown in the scrap heap. Learning from the designs and ideas of the past makes us better equipped to take on future computing challenges and enrich the lives of everyone across the world.

計算機歷史的世界跨越了許多年，公司和工具人物。 擁抱這些機器的起源可以是一個迷人的經歷，并向我們展示了我們已經走了多遠。 就像老爺車一樣，必須保存，恢復和欣賞這些歷史片段，不要遺留下灰塵或扔進廢料堆。 從過去的設計和思想中吸取教訓，使我們能夠更好地應對未來的計算挑戰，并豐富世界各地每個人的生活。
