Discussions about Computer History.

An open forum for questions and clarifications about Computer History. For discussions of Internet-specific history, use the list internet-history@postel.org, described on the Internet History web pages.

This list is not to be used for job announcements, and only a very few highly relevant Call-for-Paper announcements are appropriate here. If you wish to send a CFP or any other sort of administrative announcement to this list, please check first with Joe Touch (touch@postel.org). Otherwise,don't.

NOTE: Mail must be sent directly to this list, to this list alone, and not CC'd or BCC'd. This avoids cross-list clutter of replies and virus and vacation messages. For those who want to preserve the email message ID, please use a tool to send ID'd mail directly (e.g., sendmail). If you feel the need to use a long list of mail addresses, please reevaluate your decision to include computer-history in your list.

There is also an email-based interface for users; you can get info about using it by sending a message with just the word `help' as subject or in the body, to: internet-history-request@postel.org

The computer-history list is currently maintained as a service of USC/ISI's Postel Center for Experimental Networking (PCEN).
