Re: VCFe - Vintage Computer Festival Europe on 3./4. Mai 202

According to René Meyer they couldn't find a location, so there won't be a VCFB 2025.
The placeholder at https://www.berlin.de/events/5553055-22 ... tival.html also hasn't changed.

Old but Gold: in search for (forgotten) tricks

Well technically not just a 6502 only topic.
Since I wasn't around in the early days of computing in the '70s and don't know where (magazines or books) to start:
