Still ably justifying your killfile entry, I see.
Besides, what the
fuck has it got to do with you?
But not totally unread.

Given the limited number of people interested in vintage computers, it may not
have moved anywhere. I certainly don't recall ever seeing a "heads up" from anyone saying that they had created a forum for the subject. (And even forums seem to increasingly be viewed as being old hat nowadays, having largely given
way to Facebook, Twitter and - most recently - Discord.)

Well the Computer Conservation Society (www.computerconservationsociety.org) is
very active in this area. Perhaps it should raise its head in here from time to
time.

I may be wrong but my records suggest we are looking at years rather
than days or months since this group last had a good conversation.
Thanks for the link. I was interested to see under "Next Events":
The History of ICL Revisited
September 19th 2019 - London
I might have gone to that, having used the ICL 1900 series and 2900
series at work over many years, but unfortunately I'll be abroad on
holiday.

Damn. I'm tempted - but 14:30 in London basically means for me a whole
day by the time I've got there.
I’m just starting to dip my toe into Discord; so far it seems to be a slightly fancier IRC. Twitter is *fantastic* for retrocomputing, there’s a few really good accounts with a lot of followers that generate excellent content.

I get much amusement from SF TV programmes and films made in the 1960s supposedly featuring computers from hundreds of years in the future. One always sees the computer occupying a large room, with banks of magnetic
tape drives with tapes whirring round.
The computers in SF films still annoy me. I expect something much more
along the lines of Iain M Banks' "Minds", and I'm generally
disappointed (ditto with weapons - where are the antimatter bombs, the >relativistic railguns and the like?)

And however far in the future the film is set, the baddies still can't
shoot straight. Homing weapons seem to be unknown.
