  • RFD: comp.sys.sinclair

    From Calum@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 8 20:57:07 2021
    Was just poking around Google's usenet archives, and what should pop up
    but the results of the vote to create comp.sys.sinclair, of which I was apparently in favour.

    I'd only just graduated and started my first job earlier that year... I
    moved on nearly 25 years ago, and the Cambridge office has long since relocated to London, but I have friends who still work there.

    I would say "it's not for the lack of trying", but given that I forgot to post about my last two CSSCGC submissions until a day later, I should probably not complain...

    ...also, I wasn't involved in the vote to create CSS in the first place on the grounds that I'd never even seen the internet until two and a half years (at least) after it had already happened.
