What would we have used in those days?
Oh. I guess that you're talking about the youngsters.
Yep. There seems to be a big assumption (at least elsewhere) that
anybody who is "into retrocomputing" has just gotten into it
recently. Here, we have at least quite a few people who were into
(say) PDP-11s when they were current technology, and at some point
in the past that activity and interest automatically became a part of
the retrocomputing world. How bizarre.
