[vcf-midatlantic] Great vintage computer article.

[Christian Liendo]

I'm on the side of games here at least in the area of computers and at
least over the last maybe 30 or so years.

Games should be expanded to "entertainment" I think that's a more precise word.

While productivity has pushed some innovation, I don't think it pushed
as much as entertainment.

I think the argument that because people wanted to use computers to be
platform for entertainment, this drove a lot of innovation is valid.
