Welcome to Computer History.

We are nolstagia driven with our choice of posts and discussion of the impact of technology.

A lot of what ends up posted here has a bias towards the 1970s' up until now simply because "we" experienced a lot of this "new" technology directly as it was released.

Our community goal is to become more than just a collection of links-- we want to be a community of shared experience.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.capebreton.social, are as follows:

"When checking the system this morning, I noticed your account logged in for over 20 hours," begins a December 1998 email from the president of my dial-up Internet service provider (ISP) at the time. "Our service is unlimited, but we ask that you actually be using the connection while logged in."

Good thing we have real unlimited now. Once you run out of your high speed data you get unlimited dial-up speed data 😎
