Description:
Hacksburg presents a Retro Systems Workday on Sunday, March 23, 2025.
Step back in time for a journey through computing history! In this hands on event, we'll work together to restore an IBM PS/2 Model 25 and experience classic computing firsthand on a fully functional Macintosh Plus from 1986.
Whether you're a seasoned tech enthusiast or just curious about these pioneering machines, there's something here for everyone, create a MacPaint masterpiece, surf the World Wide Web, or try your hand at The Oregon Trail (dysentery not guaranteed, but highly likely).
Have a vintage computer of your own? Feel free to bring it along for troubleshooting help or just to show it off!
The cost of the class is $5.00 for non-members and free for Hacksburg members.
Advance reservations are required. Sign up online at:

This class is for attendees age 16 and up. If you are bringing an attendee under 18, you (the parent/guardian) must stay for the entire duration of the class.
Hacksburg is located at 1872 Pratt Drive, Suite 1620 in Blacksburg, VA within the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center.
