@internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org Fun times those. I was part of a C64 club in the mid-80s in a mid-sized city. We had regular meetings, a couple-dozen members of all ages. We shared help, new warez, and discussed the latest software, our own BBS. There was a lot of excitement when the GEOS was released even though It was s.l.o.w ... but at 1/20th the cost of a Mac. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(8-bit_operating_system) Having a club BBS was a LOT more fun than dialing up AOL.
