I read an
article today in 'New Scientist' entitled 'Innovation: Classic
computers on the danger list' with Tom Simonite writing: "Pretty much every
adult alive today has seen computers change the world, but we are doing
precious little to celebrate the influence of the computers and software
that created our society." Indeed! Are we failing to preserve the earliest
part of microcomputing history? Will
classiccmp.org discuss early ucomputers
in 5 yrs., 10 yrs.?
I like to think us fresh-faced young whippersnappers will carry the torch,
once we're off everybody's lawn. ;-)
Don't we have to grow a beard and get a "real computer" first?
