Thanks to everyone again. I'm looking forward to the videos as I missed some of the afternoon.
We got our stuff from the ccfch gift shop today. Very happy except I got done over at top trumps by a 5 year old

I'm sorry I couldn't manage to attend for longer, but grumpy kids and a tetchy internet connection put paid to it in the end. I did really enjoy the talk on Steve Furber's Prototype (JudgeBeeb, maybe we could call it the "Furbertron"? 
), as it mirrors the Acorn System stuff that I'm dabbling in at the moment. While restoring it to full working order may be unfeasible, I'd love to help reverse-engineer it, should I ever get down to a physical meet down there.

It swings a lot depending on who I'm talking to and where I am: the last time I spend a month out in Toronto, when I came back my wife (fiancée at the time) said "what's happened to your vowels"!

Yes thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, thanks to everyone who did a presentation, clearly so much work had gone into them and it was great to see something so interesting and at a technical level I was interested in!

Sorry for the delay in sharing these links; the talks from the virtual event on the 16th May were uploaded to the Centre for Computing History's Youtube channel earlier in the week. Here's a handy playlist featuring all 10 talks.
The videos are also available via the new abug.org.uk domain.
