For me #retrocomputing is about the time when we dreamed that communication would make us wiser
When we could be free to play with ideas and share them with each other
To play until we uncovered new ways to think as a matter of course
I don’t want my Mac Plus and HyperCard back.
I want to build now what I wanted then.
