articles written by (and for) normal (if a bit
fannish) humans and
lots of pictures of old hardware and stuff. You could call it "Classic
Bits" or something actually catchy. I'll bet the inhabitants of this
list could cook up a better product almost overnight.
I guess it depends on how you define better. Maybe
I'm not normal, but I for one would like to see some
of the conversations here have more of the character
of AHC and rather less of the "what was the first...?"
and "A was so much better than B." Even endless discussions
of how to archive floppies are more useful and interesting
in the early stages when they're focused on physics
and engineering. By the time they digress to the
relative virtues and disasters in FPGAs or XML, there's
not much reason to keep reading the thread.
Just 20 milli-dollars from one who keeps a foot
in both the industrial and academic worlds.
