Hello all.
today I visited a corporate owned computermuseum in our city of Arnhem,
the Netherlands. you could touch an open some machines on display
(others would require tools. :-) )
among them are a IBM 1401 with printer, tapedrives and terminal. some
parts of a IBM 370/145, the console of a 360/30, several acounting
machines, pdp8/e with two cabinets full of extra flip chips, card
sorters, punches, collimators.
all in all nice stuff.
unfortunately they are not open to the general public. :-(

Hmm? These mailing list issues are starting to get out of hand ...
Your membership in the mailing list cctalk has been disabled due to
excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated
06-Nov-2014. You will not get any more messages from this list until
you re-enable your membership. You will receive 3 more reminders like
this before your membership in the list is deleted.
Oh hell. I sure didn't mean to open up that can of worms (the every year or
so debate on if replies should be to the list or to the poster). But since
it HAS been brought up....
Background for short-timers: There is a recurring debate every year or so as
to the reply-to headers setting on the list. The way it works now, when the
list sends out list traffic/posts to each of you, it "munges" the reply-to
header so that when you hit "reply" to a list post, the reply goes to the
list. If you want to just reply to the poster directly (off-list), you have
to go through gyrations like hitting forward and typing in the senders email
address.
Taking off my list owner hat... the following is my own personal opinion on
the topic which shall not be dictated upon the rest:
I think that's insane, not to mention that I suspect it violates some RFC's
and breaks the good intentions/functionality of most MUA's. But
regardless.... if the list was set the other (the normal) way... when you
get a post you hit reply to reply directly (and only) to the original poster
and if you want it to go to the entire list - you hit "reply all". I mean,
come on - that's why mail clients HAVE a reply vs. "reply all" button.
The only argument I've heard that is vaguely cogent for the current method,
is that people will often hit reply with a golden nugget of information and
the rest of the list will miss out on that. The argument on the other side
of the fence is that having it set the way it currently is causes people to
very often post things to the list that were meant to be private.
I am of the opinion that the reply-to should be set to the poster, not the
list, and let people use their MUA the way it was intended. That being said,
I'll defer to whatever the majority of folks wish. On the other hand, this
list is mainly frequented by Grumpy Old Men aka Curmudgeons - of which I am
most certainly one - and changing this well-entrenched behavior is likely to
start a religious war which I want no part of :)
<troll>So how bout that 10-year rule?</troll>

VCF East 10 -- aka "VCFeX" is almost six months away (April 17-19, at
our museum in Wall, New Jersey). But the planning is in top gear! I'm
very happy to announce that our keynote speakers will be Dr. Dr. Ted
Nelson (Saturday -- he has two doctoral degrees) and Bob Frankston (Sunday).
The event web site is just beginning to get populated, so please pardon
the lack of details for now: vintage.org/2015/east/ .... we're also
social at facebook.com/vcfeast and we just joined Twitter.com a few
minutes ago @vcfeast.
New for 2015: more technical classes on Friday; longer exhibit hall
hours Saturday and Sunday.
never set a password. usually you can send an email to change your
settings. I haven't used Mailman in ages.

Slightly confused as I posted something this morning to cctalk and I got
back a message saying my post was awaiting moderation for cctech. I can
sort of understand in that I didn't post to cctech, but neither did my post
appear on cctalk. Something may not be quite right...
Hope this one makes it :-)

Jay made it quite clear that they had totally lost the mailing list
configuration, and that they had to re-create the list of subscribers by
looking through out-going mailing logs, which would only give them addresses
(at least, from simple processing). In other words, all the configuration
info had been lost, and people would have to reset things.
Now, can we get back to technolgy?

You ought to grovel through the headers in the incoming email for 'Received'
lines; you might be subscribed via a different email address from the one you
tried to unsubscribe.
