I wanna go there some time. I am adding it to my life goals.

Time to go play on my Tandy 1000EX and Commodore 64 =)

One of the best things about the Inq is the little articles on computing hardware history.

I really enjoy reading stuff about the old days when the real geeks built them from kits.

These people are to be admired and respected.

Run some future articles like this please?

Thats not a soldering iron - it's a wire wrap tool. Thats a prototypers tool of choice.

It goes with the spool of blue solder that is next to it.

I had a wire wrap tool but it wasn't electric and my "solder" wasn't blue.

But yeah, it's not a soldering iron. Interesting article. Thanks for publishing it. I would have loved to attended the meet with some of my own vintage hardware and software.
