by simski＠dds.nl

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. :-( pictures: https://hack42.nl/gallery/v/Museum/exciting/ -- Met vriendelijke Groet, Simon Claessen hack42.nl

OT: reply-to munging

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

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> ;) J

by evan＠snarc.net

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.

Multiple copies of messages

by tpresence＠hotmail.com

It appears I'm receiving multiple copies of many messages, but not for every post. Any way to remediate this without an unsubscribe? Kevin

Moderation

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

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 :-) Regards Rob

Mailing list issues (was: Whitesmith C install)

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> I used to get this list in digest format which was nice. It seems like > this setting has been reset for everyone. 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? Noel
