Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 23:14:20 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <180245D1-0DCD-4C2C-A26A-EF68578FD548@canb.auug.org.au> (raw)
What are the 1970’s & 1980’s Computing / IT skills “our grandkids won’t have”?
Whistling into a telephone while the modem is attached, because your keyboard has a stuck key
- something I absolutely don’t miss.
Having a computer in a grimy wharehouse with 400 days of uptime & wondering how a reboot might go?
