Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

Thanks for the link, Simon. That does bring back old memories. I got reliable interent access in 1983, having moved from American Express, who at the time forbade access to the internet for any purpose, to Amdahl who encouraged people to try our this 'new' technology. I was a usenet lurker for quite a while. It took a while to find it but my first posts seem to start at 1991 (comp.sys.amiga.*). Searching for my name is pretty much useless since 'Rene Vega' is a common name. Thankfully I recall my old email addresses: rzv30@amdahl.com, draco@amdahl, draco@ivorytower, draco@apple, etc.

So, though I am an olde computer hobbyist dating back to 1974, building 4K RAM 6502 systems from scratch (as in etching the circuit boards, wire wrapping prototype boards), and being a huge fan of the old style dial-up BBSs, I didn't find the 'net until much later.
