For decades, Tony Diaz held the record of the only person to have attended every
KansasFest. Whether at that convention, on the comp.sys.apple2 Usenet newsgroup,
or on his livestreams, he would share his comprehensive knowledge of Apple II
hardware and demo the rare prototypes in his vast collection. When KansasFest
lost its home at Avila University, Tony, then the head of the KansasFest
committee, helped find the event its new home at Rockhurst. And as a member of
the Juiced.GS staff, he would respond to reader queries about how to restore
their vintage equipment.

In memory of Tony, who passed away in October 2021, Open Apple‘s original
co-hosts, Em Maginnis and Ken Gagne, reunite to remember their friend and his
passions, accomplishments, quirks, and foibles.

This month on Open Apple, we bring you the traditional big group podcast that we
record every year at KansasFest. Tune in for a casual chat with your favorite
retro podcasters, and get a behind-the-scenes peek at what makes KansasFest
special. This year we managed to twist the following arms into joining us:

 * Quinn Dunki – Open Apple
 * Carrington Vanston – Retrocomputing Roundtable, Eaten By A Grue
 * Paul Hagstrom – Retrocomputing Roundtable, Drop III Inches
 * Ken Gagne – Retrocomputing Roundtable, Polygamer, Transporter Lock
 * Charles Mangin – How II
 * Steve Weyrich – Retrocomputing Roundtable
 * Kay Savetz – ANTIC, Eaten By A Grue, Tech Enthusiast Hour
 * Chris Torrence – Assembly Lines
 * Jason Scott – Jason Scott Talks His Way Out Of It

You’ll have to excuse the strained voices and general discombobulation, as we
generally record this sometime in the middle of the night on what-feels-like day
400 of KFest, in a dank basement chapel. It’s way more fun than I just made it
sound. You should come to the next KansasFest!

This month on Open Apple, we sit down with Kay Savetz and Carrington Vanston of
the Eaten By A Grue podcast. Eaten By A Grue is a game-by-game style of podcast
where the intrepid hosts are playing every Infocom game. They both play the
game, then discuss it in detail, with and without spoilers. They discuss the
amount of cheating required, how mapping was done, the quality of writing and
puzzles, and so on. The show has a very nice structure wherein they discuss the
show with no spoilers to the halfway point, so that you can stop and go play it
yourself if you are so inclined. If not, you can keep listening and hear gory
details of all the puzzles.

Kevin talks about getting beasts into bed, and other reasons not to play these
games on real hardware. Meanwhile Carrington gets his feelies on and brags about
how he has so many original copies of Infocom games that he sits on them for
fun.

Meanwhile Mike and Quinn debate dubious silicon valley histories, wedge
computers, and competing with other 8-bits in BASIC. Tune in to hear us malign
our guests, misremember important names, and get super pedantic about connector
nomenclature for no conceivable reason. You won’t want to miss a moment of the
drama.

More information on everything discussed in this episode, after the jump.
