Hi Stephen,

How about:
#fedora-ancient

Anything relating to computing 20 or more years ago.  Rather than 
pre-1993: so in 2021, people can talk about anything up to 2001.

Not just for hardware & software, but also the changing culture & public 
perceptions.

Also anything that compared 'modern day' with the 'old-days', would also 
be valid, as well as which companies were dominant and why.

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'!


Cheers,
Gavin
