Welcome to Computer History.

We are nolstagia driven with our choice of posts and discussion of the impact of technology.

A lot of what ends up posted here has a bias towards the 1970s' up until now simply because "we" experienced a lot of this "new" technology directly as it was released.

Our community goal is to become more than just a collection of links-- we want to be a community of shared experience.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.capebreton.social, are as follows:

I was taught, and every check I've ever seen before this one has followed what I was taught, to write the amount normally in the top right box, and as a fraction on the bottom where you write out the full amount. This is the first time I've seen fractions used in both boxes.
