[Nottingham] Before Linux - A small story of Bill and Steve

[Martin]

Folks,

Going retro... I inadvertently stumbled across this little series on
YouTube. All a good reminder for how today we have our IT so easily good
with Linux!


Have your popcorn and beer at the ready!

Enjoy:


First, a little background from the days of 8bits, MHz, real computer
Front Panels, and punched tape media, pre-Internet:
