This is the fanboy list for Alan Kay.


Well, in a certain sense it is. I'm here because I'm interested in what 
VPRI are doing, and in what like minded people are interested in.


It suits me just fine apart from the occasional tantrums some people have.

I'm just waiting for Kirk to mention Atlantis or the Rosicrucians. It 
feels like it could be any moment...

If you're offering an opinion on the article, try to say something 
specific and relevant to those who might have skimmed it. Which parts 
interested you?


If you're referring to Sean's comment for recording the outreach events, 
please consider moving it to another topic.

1. You prefer to release only polished artefacts. This is just egotistical.


Demanding that people show you their work before it's ready can come 
across as pretty egotistical too.


Yes - I'd love to see a lot more FONC stuff released - but I don't think 
we've got a right to demand it.

I have a working KAYPRO II - 64K (yes, K bytes of RAM) Z-80 at

The first computer I was paid to program was a Sinclair Spectrum with 
32k or RAM. What are the odds for fonc there?
