SWTPC is back! (kinda)

Some years ago a very respected hobbyist and former SWTPC customer named Michael Holley set up a webpage dedicated to Southwest Technical Products, a former San Antonio, Texas tech company that started out making kits for authors of electronics projects, culminating in computers and finally point of sale devices, before closing in 1993. SWTPC was known for good quality and innovative gear, and Michael's page dedicated to them was a valued resource for modern day collectors and hobbyists. Sadly, Michael was not able to renew the expiring SWPTC.COM domain in time, and it was purchased from under him by someone else, who has done nothing with it since. After some attempts at trying to negotiate a transfer (the price the individual was asking was quite steep), I decided it might be an appropriate tribute to both SWTPC and Michael to bring a new, updated site to life, both as a tribute to the legendary company as well as to provide a home for future projects, including some I plan to offer to hobbyists. This site will be not just about Southwest but also about vintage technology in general and I hope will be a useful resource for the future.
There's going to be a lot of construction going on here so please forgive the mess, or if you see any ads for vintage SWTPC pottery (SWTPC never made pottery). AI tries but still kinda misses a lot!

Thanks so much!
