COMPLETE
WIRED LIBRARIAN'S NEWSLETTER
Travel back to yesteryear,
when microcomputers had 8k of memory, hard drives were 1K per meg and we
tried to figure out how to use this new technology to manage libraries.
That's right boys and girls, moms and dad and
those who aren't sure venture back to the early and mid '80's when Commodore
64's and TI994A's roamed the earth and share in the saga of Bob and Joe
building software in their garage. Relive the days of Chuck and Andy
and Dandy Don agonizing over customer support. Watch as Victor and Hank and
Betty create an industry ,,,
