Photos of INIT HELLO 2025 Apple II conf @ System Source Computer Museum

[blakespot]

I attended INIT HELLO last weekend, a new Apple II conference that was held at the amazing System Source Computer Museum north of Baltimore. The conference (my first in-person Apple II conference experience) was just a wonderful time, and what was on display at the museum was mind-blowing, to me.

I wanted to share, here, my photo gallery of the event, capturing the backdrop of the museum.

Despite living only an hour and a half away, I had never heard of this museum until Kate Szkotnicki and Paul Hagstrom started talking about it in March and in shockingly short time, brought the event to life by July.

So glad you enjoyed them! It's an amazing place, and the event was super fun. I can't wait for next year's INIT HELLO at the same venue!

Having recently finished reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson, it's really interesting to see your great photos of those early systems that Jobs was said to have disparaged so vehemently... and then there it is, one of the original Apple I breadboards. Plus probably every other Apple ever made seems to be there at that museum.

I'm sure there are many members of the forum who looking at the photos could name most all of them one after the other without looking at the captions. With a few exceptions, I'm not one of those folks so the captions are very helpful.

Have to mention the Cray on display since I only live a couple miles away from their original location here in WI. So, let me add to the appreciation for posting this. 👍
