What does HAL have to do with Lunch 2.0?
Well, it turns out that HAL 9000 (”the computer I wished I had”, said Don Millman) was the winning response to the question “My first computer was a…”. This question appeared on each of the Lunch 2.0 name tags at last week’s event.
Lest you think nametags a silly affair, not only did it encourage a lively conversation amongst all the attendees about their childhood computers (the Apple II and Vic-20 were the most popular by far) but there was also a prize for the most inventive answer.
Hosted by the folks at Codesta and scanR and attended by a diverse group of locals interested in the Toronto tech scene, the latest installment of Lunch 2.0 was a delicious success.
Many thanks to Dan Bowman and Pat McCarten from Codesta who organized and hosted (you can read their post about the event over on Codesta’s blog). The lunch was phenomenal (no end of raves about those chocolate cookies!) and there was plenty of time for chatting and learning about what the other attendees were involved in or just excited to talk about.
Thanks again Dan and Pat and all the others who came by to say hello and grab a bite.
We Idéalists are already looking forward to the next event!

I’d take my Amiga 500 with the Fat Agnes audio processing chip and 16million colour video card over Hal any day!
