Subject of the week. Retro Technology.

I am asking for your stories about some of the tech you have used in the past. You know, back in the day?? It will be a segment of Geek of the North or it might become it’s own podcast. Email me your ideas at mike@mikedell.com. I would like to do pre-recorded interviews with fellow geeks to talk about some of the old stuff we used in the past.

I started the conversation with the Magnavox Odyssey that came out in 1972. It was a game console that came out before the Atari Pong game. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnavox_Odyssey

Thanks for Listening / Watching!
