Retro video terminal experience at the Slovenian Computer History Museum
I’m Marko, a volunteer at the non-profit Slovenian Computer History Museum. For some time my passions have been retrocomputing and retrogaming, especially to try out all the interesting hardware from the 80s when I was born.
After I made a successful unicorn exit from a mobile apps company I co-founded I found the perfect match for my next calling in our Museum Society, which has been collecting exhibits since 2004 while part of the Ljubljana’s (now defunct) hackerspace Cyberpipe – they were looking for a permanent space to call home and I wanted to become involved in preserving, exploring and presenting our computing past. I bought 700 m2 of real estate to provide to the museum rent-free and after an intensive planning and renovation period we were hoping to open to the public last year but of course this was prevented by the pandemic.
