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:

BASIC was an ok tool for teaching. What I have a problem with today, is that it's the middle of the 20-gosh-darn-20s and I still have to write BASIC to automate stuff in excel, in an IDE without any features introduced in other IDEs since 1995.

But was BASIC ok? Sure it was. Is BASIC still ok? Oh hells nah!
