I used PLATO in the late '70s at the University of
Colorado (Colorado
Springs branch) - they had a couple of terminals which were connected
to a machine somewhere farther north; my memory waffles on whether it
was at Urbana-Champaign or Minneapolis/St-Paul.
Probably was at the Shampoo Banana campus :-).
I feel very nostalgic about it. I'd like to find
a live PLATO
community. (cyber1.org is out because they demand agreeing to foreign
legal jurisdiction, and worse, the jurisdiction they demand is in the
USA, one of the most unreasonably litigous places on the planet.)
Dude. You *so* need to read some H.L. Mencken if you haven't
already! :-) <http://www.io.com/gibbonsb/mencken>
