Hey there,
I know I've been off the radar again (grrr) but I have some exciting episodes coming up, starting in the next couple of days. First off, a multi-episode interview with Chuck Peddle, creator of the 6502 microprocessor and the Commodore PET computer. We had a great chat, and I'm sure you'll find it very interesting!
Check back soon for Part I!
- Earl

Very cool! I really enjoy it when you do interviews. Also, I can't wait to hear what Mr. Peddle has to say.

That is quite a coup--Chuck Peddle more or less created and invented the Commodore 8-bits.
Retrobits podcast is an amazing audio resource on the history of computers. It inspired me to pull out my old Commodore machines out of the crawl space and set up my own 'retro room' instead of using those emulators.

Reading it now.... Don't spoil the ending for me.... ;D If I gained anything from the book, it'll be that Earl might need to <bleep> the <bleep>ing language Chuck Peddle tends to use.

Don't forget that Robert B is still looking for questions to Ask Peddle at the upcoming Comvex convention that happens in a little over a week.

Great episode. The retrobits podcast is the ultimate history of computers, presented in audio format. I've saved every episode on my MP3 player.
