Mike Rowen
Mike Rowen has been a long time user of the TRS-80 Color Computer, but got his start on the TRS-80 Model 1 at the tender age of 13. In the early 1990s, Mike was an avid user of OS-9 Level II for the color computer and used a hard disk based Color Computer 3 with UUCP to communicate with Unix based Sun and VAX systems of the day. Today, Mike spends most of his vintage computer time with the TRS-80 Color Computer, but his collection still includes a TRS-80 Model IV and a Radio Shack DT-1 Terminal. Mike can be heard each month on the CoCo Crew Podcast (www.cococrew.org) with John Linville and Neil Blanchard. Mike produces retro commercials and promotional audio for multiple vintage podcasts. He "officially" re-entered the world of vintage computing in 2009 after a 16 year hiatus. He regularly attends CoCoFEST in Lombard,IL as well as other vintage computer events across the country.

Randy Weaver
At the age of 11, after failing hard at skateboarding, Randy took his board back to the store for a refund and bought a TRS-80 Color Computer 2. This event changed his future (and perhaps the sport of skateboarding) forever and sparked his lifelong love for computers and programming. Currently, he’s a software engineer at Rumpke (a waste and recycling company) in Cincinnati, OH. When he’s not geeking out on CoCo projects and events, he’s writing and recording in his home studio, “camping” (in an RV), boating in Tennessee and living the life.

Pete is one of the hosts of the TRS-80 Trash Talk podcast. His first computer experience was with his brother's 4K Color Computer in 1980. He's been hooked on programming ever since. His day job is as a software engineer in New York City. In his spare time he enjoys collecting and programming vintage TRS-80 gear, especially the Z80 machines. His true passion is the Model II line of computers, of which he has quite a few working examples, including Model II, 12, 16, 16B and 6000.
