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.
