   @interlisp https://fosstodon.org/@interlisp/113674029627830414 has a link. I always think people can find the archives by looking at the #lispyGopherClimate , or I guess "the archive" is https://archives.anonradio.net/#screwtape . I have to read the rest of your thread here.

     I don't know, you'd have to ask the organizer, Screwlisp ( @screwtape ) -- I'm just a clueless attendee who discovered them a month or two ago. I find it a fun get together.

     Reflecting a bit, it adds info that I have not seen anywhere else, which is why I excitedly recommend it. But a hypothetical naif might not see what the big deal is, I suppose, in e.g. accentuating some historical counter-culture aspects of computer history.

     However I assume anyone reading it *has* in fact read some other computing histories, whether or not they lived through any part of such.

     The author, Markoff, of course has an impressive journalistic pedigree.
