Before screens became standard, computers talked through teletypes. These noisy machines typed out every command and result on paper, serving as the original consoles for early systems like the Altair and beyond. #SnapshotSaturday #RetroComputing #Teletypes #vintagecomputer

Meet the PDP-5, introduced by DEC in 1963. This room-filling machine helped pioneer the 12-bit minicomputer and became the architectural ancestor of the hugely successful PDP-8. Today, this example survives on display at the Bloop Museum. 🖥️ #SnapshotSaturday
“Snapshot Saturday.” Caption: “PDP-5 (circa 1963) on display in Bloop museum.” Photograph shows a large blue-gray DEC PDP-5 installation consisting of several tall equipment cabinets, exposed wiring, a large circular CRT display, and a console/keyboard. Vintage computer photographs hang on the wall behind it. The photo is framed in a brown filmstrip design with vintage.computer branding at the bottom.

For many people, the Commodore PET, an all-in-one machine, was their first glimpse of what “home computing” could be. #SnapshotSaturday #CommodorePET #VintageComputing #RetroTech #VintageComputer
Image with the title “Snapshot Saturday” in large white text at the top over a brown film-strip themed background. Below, centered text reads “Commodore PET 2001.” The main image shows a Commodore PET 2001 personal computer: a white, wedge-shaped all-in-one unit with a built-in monochrome monitor, an integrated keyboard with chiclet-style keys, and a built-in cassette tape drive on the left. A separate cassette tape sits on the table in front of it. At the bottom of the image are photo credits and the text “vintage.computer” in a rounded brown label.

Before the Macintosh became an icon, it existed as a messy, hand-wired prototype Wire-wrap boards were where ideas became real hardware. It’s a reminder that even revolutionary machines begin as experiments. #SnapshotSaturday #Macintosh #AppleHistory #VintageComputer
Image titled “Snapshot Saturday.” Background: a film-strip themed frame in brown tones. Headline across the top: “SNAPSHOT SATURDAY.” Subheading text: “Prototype of the Macintosh computer on wire wrap prototype board.” Main image: A close-up photograph of an early Macintosh prototype built on a wire-wrap board. The board is covered with numerous chips, resistors, and hand-wrapped wires.

A look back at the Vintage Computer Festival 2010, where hand-built systems, wire-wrapped boards, and glowing CRTs showed that the hacker spirit never went away, it just got older and wiser. #VintageComputer #SnapshotSaturday
A photograph framed by a brown “Snapshot Saturday” graphic styled like a strip of film. The image shows a long table at the Vintage Computer Festival 2010 displaying several homebrew computer systems. Multiple CRT monitors sit behind exposed computer boards in open cases, with visible wiring, chips, and components. Keyboards are placed in front of the machines. The setting appears to be an indoor exhibit space with people standing nearby. Text above the photo reads “Homebrew computers at Vintage Computer Festival 2010,” and the bottom right corner displays the text “vintage.computer.”

Snapshot Saturday: Before PCs took over, serial terminals were the interface to computing: connected to powerful central systems and doing the work through a keyboard and screen. A very different model from today’s personal machines. #VintageComputing #SnapshotSaturday
Graphic titled “SNAPSHOT SATURDAY” Subtitle text: “Serial terminals: before ‘personal’ computers, terminals were the standard.” Image shows a vintage computer terminal with a built-in monitor and keyboard. A person is seated, typing on the keyboard while text is displayed on the screen. To the left is a large connected unit with switches and indicator lights.

Before businesses had PCs, they had terminals like the VT100: it became a standard thanks to its reliability, clean ANSI-compatible display, and wide adoption across universities, labs, and businesses. #VintageComputing #DEC #VT100 #RetroTech #SnapshotSaturday #VintageComputer
A “Snapshot Saturday” graphic with a sepia-toned filmstrip design. At the top, large white text reads “SNAPSHOT SATURDAY.” Below a row of film frames, small text reads: “Terminal workstations like this DEC VT100 were commonplace before PCs.” Centered in the graphic is a photograph of a DEC VT100 terminal. The terminal has a beige casing, a CRT screen displaying white-on-black text, and a built-in keyboard with numerous black keys. The monitor shows a list of commands or system information. On the right side of the bezel is the label “DEC VT100.” Beneath the image is a credit line: “Jason Scott, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DEC_VT100_terminal.jpg” At the bottom right corner of the graphic is the label: vintage.computer.
