to TeeEss, BsrbaraJ.
Happy to have Member Nr. 1517 arrive at our threshold.
Spartacus is our
Font of Historical Wisdom, official, unofficial, whatever.
He knows what he talks about.
If you haven't ever seen Robert X Cringley's work (on PBS and elsewhere) I really recommed this.
His "Nerd" miniseries It's possible you could find a copy at your public library. There's an accompanying book, too.
I was personally acquainted with some of the late-teen/early 20-something players in the 1970s and so I know Cringley's interpretation(s) about those "early days" are sound and responsible .
Come back to TeeEss often.
