I think it might be a way to meet different kinds of people who have a tangential interest at least in computing history of some sort On Wed, Apr 26, 2023, 1:20 PM Jeff Salzman via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Do those aspects include the anachronisms in the series? I did a drinking game over them while binge watching the series and ended up drinking so much that I woke up the next morning standing in a cornfield with an Appletalk cable hanging around my neck, trying to figure out why it won't plug into my 1541 disk drive?

Someone posted this and I started to read it and I'm not a fan I think there are a lot of things missing, I figured I would share as it may be of interest to others.

This site features a curriculum developed around the television series, Halt and Catch Fire (2014-2017), a fictional narrative about people working in tech during the 1980s-1990s.
The intent is for this website to be used by self-forming small groups that want to create a “watching club” (like a book club) and discuss aspects of technology history that are featured in this series.
