      @amoroso we had a notes database of software, manuals, drivers and documents called Genie that was based on the then IBM owned Lotus notes, database replication was the main issue back then

          @amoroso one of my favourite non-fiction computer history books is The Friendly Orange Glow about the rise and fall of PLATO and what could have been.

          I caught the tail end of the PLATO era via a TI99/4A in a store in Leicester
