Awesome!

I love this podcast and David, Carrington and Earl are great to listen to. David is a great guy (I've met him in person), Carrington has a great sense of humor and Earl is a fount of retro computer knowledge. Give this a listen; you won't regret it!

Best of the Best!

What do you get when you combine Retrobits, 1Mhz, and History of the Personal Computer? This fantastic look at our beloved computers from the past. It's like being transported to the days when computers were these mysterious boxes that were limited only by our imaginations.

Where Earl goes, I will follow!

Best retro computing podcast out there.
