I agree.  I find these digressions interesting and informative.

They _really do_ keep coming up. What if we create a Fedora Old-Timers list
for this kind of discussion? I'm not even kidding -- I'll join.

Interesting idea; however, "youngsters" probably would not join and would therefor lose the benefit of our experience, not to mention the enjoyment of our tall tales. :-)

Put in a name of the list (#fedora-oldfarts is not going to be it), what the topics are (social communication of old time systems) and what the general rules are (people will talk about computers that are pre-1993 and what work was required to run them).

and I will create a list.

Hi Stephen,

How about:
#fedora-ancient

Anything relating to computing 20 or more years ago.  Rather than pre-1993: so in 2021, people can talk about anything up to 2001. 

Not just for hardware & software, but also the changing culture & public perceptions.

Also anything that compared 'modern day' with the 'old-days', would also be valid, as well as which companies were dominant and why.

I think people should also be encouraged to discuss how they got into computers, and what training & experience they thought was relevant - even if this breaks the '20-year rule'!


Cheers,
Gavin
