PAUL FORD
is a
Brooklyn-based
writer and computer
programmer who has
worked as an editor at
Harper’s Magazine
and a
commentator for NPR.
Here, he writes about
vintage computing
(“
Still Life With Emula-
tor,” page 69), and he
would like everyone
to know that one of
the greatest computer
lines of all time was the
Amiga 1000 circa 1986.
ALL IN THE FAMILY
WHENWE BEGAN
commissioning family travel stories for thismonth’s special package,
we had something specific in mind: heartwarming, I-never-really-knew-my-dad-until-
we’d-gazed-upon-the-pyramids-at-dawn stuff. What we got were brushes with molten
lava, screamingfits at noveltyhotels, andparentswitha knack for rampingup teenangst.
The thing is, travel doesn’t always strengthen family ties—at least, not the way you’d
expect. It o en tests them, twangs them, leaves them looking frayed. Taken out of the
context of the home, our individual foibles can assumemon-
strous proportions, as if exposed to B-movie gamma rays,
crushing familial coping mechanisms underfoot.
Pick through the rubbleof theseminor catastrophes,
though, and you’ll see that our initial expectations
weren’t so far off the mark. The overriding spirit in
these tales is of tolerance, good humor and, it has to
be said, enduring love. Referring to an incident that
had occurred decades earlier, one of our contributors
writes at the endof his piece, “Sorry, Dad.” It doesn’t get
more heartwarming than that.

HANNAH STUART-
LEACH
is a journalist
who recently returned
to her native U.K. after
a lengthy stint in Asia,
working first in South
Korea and then Sri Lanka.
A lifelong champion of
public transportation, she
was surprised to find that
her visit to the home of
Mercedes-Benz (“Three
Perfect Days: Stuttgart,”
page 92) turned her into
“
something of a non-
driving petrolhead.”
WHITNEY TRESSEL
is a New York–based
photographer and photo
editor whose résumé
includes stints with
Esquire
and
Rolling Stone
.
Traveling into the heart
of the Canadian prairie
for a shoot in Saskatoon
(“
Saskaboom,” page
78),
she was delighted
to discover that one
of her favorite drinks,
the Earl Grey cocktail,
had already made its
way north.
