Retro electronics for your TV show and Movie – This Geek in Review for 29 Mar 2019
If you know me, you know I like the 80s. Especially, I like retro electronics. Some may call them antiques, but that word conjures up memories of old lamps and davenports at my grandparents’ houses. Here’s a cool place where TV Shows and Movies get the retro electronics they need.
Whenever I use an emoji instead of typing a response, a little piece of me dies inside. It’s embarrassing to take the easy way out, instead of drafting a witty response, I’ll send a thumbs up.

The world wide web browser is 30 years old this year. The first browser and web server ran on the NeXT Computers. NeXT Computers was the company the Steve Jobs created after he was pushed out of Apple, and the operating system that runs on all Macintosh computers, iPhones, and iPads can trace their history to the NeXT computers and operating system. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the world wide web, CERN researchers have recreated the first browser as an online website. Get ready to browse like it’s 1990!
