Your experience compared to the Real Guys on this list
(of which I don't qualify to rank as either)
barely qualifies you as anything, much less a "talking head" for vintage
computing. You're a talking
head for MARCH. That's it.
Knowing history and how to write about it does not mean you have created it or even
experienced it. Many of the "Real Guys" I have dealt with on and off this list
are egoists that need regular stroking. Who better to write about your history than
someone that knows how to research.
