Tales From The Dork Web

We look back at older computers with rose tinted spectacles, but can we look forward with them? What might a computer with a 100 year lifespan look like, and how do we build it? In this issue I want you to rethink what we know about retrocomputing in terms of designing long-term sustainability today. Along the way I’ll introduce something I’m calling Heirloom Computing. This is part of a series I’m writing on the next 100 years of computing called As We May Link.
I’ve written a followup piece that has more info on what I’m building and answers some common questions.
