About a month or two back we were discussing starting
a newsgroup for
classic computer collectors. I just wanted to mention there is a
somewhat related newsgroup on the net that could use some activity:
alt.technology.obsolete
I am for it, I have it on my news sites to check and in the last few
months I have maybe seen three messages in it (two being multi-newsgroup
spams)
Whaddya guys (and gals) think?
Sounds lie a plan. The trick is to get the word out. Perhaps a
carefully placed message in alt.computers.folklore will get some people
to check it out and start contributing. Larry, perhaps you could post a
message proclaiming that you are commandeering alt.technology.obsolete
for the discussion of old computers and if nobody objects, its ours.
