Netscape’s initial public offering of shares stimulated the dot.com boom of the late 1990s and enabled what has been called “the technological, social, and financial tone of the Internet age.”

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:
