It’s the A2 RetroTech monthly virtual meetup! (A2 = Ann Arbor, Michigan — but all are welcome!)

This month, we’re taking a break from our regular format to watch a classic computer history movie! We’ll all sync up our movies and watch/talk with a brief discussion after. This will be very casual. Feel free to pop in/out as your schedule allows.
