South California PDP Meeting

Petrea's words: "We chose Lilly's French Cafe in Venice, California (because Perris, California is too far from Los Angeles and besides, they pronounce it wrong). Our charming waiter, Adam, took two photos of us. Seated: Tall Gary, Pont Girl, and my husband John. Standing: Carrie and me (Petrea). Carrie ordered the escargot. There were six morsels in her order. She tried one and didn't like it. So the rest of us each had one. We all thought they were very good. The one remaining on the plate we decided to name Eric [LOOOOOOOOOOOOL - me!] in your honor, but unfortunately Eric the Escargot didn't last very long. John couldn't resist him. We talked a lot about how much we love Paris Daily Photo, and you, and all the people on the blog. It was great fun getting together and you started the whole thing!" ;)

Computer Museum

One of the first digital camera to be sold in retail.


The first "RSS reader" as Philippe Nieuwbourg, the head of the museum puts it. In fact a sort of telex that was used on military boats to receive instructions broadcasted from land.


The first "Laptop" computer (Osborne 1 - 24.5 pounds!)


Sinclair ZX81. I remember it as the first popular computer in Europe. Sinclair was British.


What a teenager room would have looked like in the 80's. The modem is worth the visit!


One of the first hard drives.


Computer


The French claim they invented the 1st PC and so does Wikipedia. It must be true...


First type of computer memory.
