I agree. I find these digressions interesting and
informative.<br>

They _really do_ keep coming up. What if we create a
Fedora Old-Timers list<br>
for this kind of discussion? I'm not even kidding --
I'll join.<br>

Interesting idea; however, "youngsters" probably would not
join and would therefor lose the benefit of our
experience, not to mention the enjoyment of our tall
tales. :-)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>Put in a name of the list (#fedora-oldfarts is not going
to be it), what the topics are (social communication of old
time systems) and what the general rules are (people will
talk about computers that are pre-1993 and what work was
required to run them).</div>

<font size="-1">Hi <font size="-1">Stephen,</font><br>
<br>
How about:<br>
#fed<font size="-1">ora<font size="-1">-ancient</font></font></font><br>
<br>
Anything relating to computing 20 or more years ago. Rather than
pre-1993: so in 2021, people can talk about anything up to 2001. <br>
<br>
Not just for hardware & software, but also the changing culture
& public perceptions.<br>
<br>
Also anything that compared 'modern day' with the 'old-days', would
also be valid, as well as which companies were dominant and why.<br>
<br>
I think people should also be encouraged to discuss how they got
into computers, and what training & experience they thought was
relevant - even if this breaks the '20-year rule'!<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
