Welcome to Show 029!  This week's Topic: The IBM Personal Computer, Part I.

Thanks to my son, Joshua, for helping me out with this week's podcast!

Digital Retro - a book with info and pictures about a wide variety of retro computers.  Check it out!  Is your favorite in there?  Some of mine are...
A non retro link?  Sure, why not?  The BoltTalk podcast and blog covers the San Diego Chargers, a US professional football team.  And, the host listens to Retrobits...
The London-based Science Museum announces a £1 million partnership with Nintendo.  Excellent!
The IT Crowd from Channel 4 in the UK - funny, and retrocomputing aware!
More fun stuff on the Byte Cellar vintage computing blog...Amigas in FPGA, Sharp X68000, and more!
As usual, great entry on Wikipedia for the topic of the week, the IBM PC!  Check out some of the corresponding links also!
