Old dog, meet new trick.

It’s amazing what a little ingenuity, creativity, dedication, and love for old computers can do. It can inspire you to create melodic chiptunes, or, you know, connect to Twitter using a 30 year old personal computer.

This Saturday, February 20th, the Personal Computer Museum will make PC history by connecting the Commodore VIC-20 to the Internet and Twitter via a cassette tape loaded with special Twittery software. Think about it: We’re talking a machine with a massive 5K of RAM that will send out a tweet, dudes.

If you’re interested in witnessing this technological miracle, you can follow the Personal Computer Museum on that day to , hopefully, be part of history. If you were to reply, what would you say?

    Amazing. I never imagined a Vic 20 could go on the net and Twitter.
