A quote from the by-lines:
"But to my dismay, many young technically-inclined whippersnappers are
completely unaware of computer user groups' existence and their
importance in the personal computer's development. That's a damned
shame... Computer groups celebrated the industry's fundamental values:
a delight in technology's capabilities, a willingness to share
knowledge, and a tacit understanding that we're all here to help one
another...Once personal computers went mainstream, troubleshooting them
stopped being an esoteric endeavor."
