Let's go back to a time when you hacked away at the autoexec.bat and config.sys so you could play King's Quest or Ultima 7. Remember when you dialed up to Prodigy or America Online for the first time or when your parents handed you that $500 phone bill from dialing up BBSes? We will discuss weekly topics relating to the computers and the computing lifestyle of the 80s and 90s. So clean out that garage and hook up that old computer!
