At a local linux meeting, the leader was disparaging any resurrection of old technology
Anybody else reminded of the science fiction story where ethereal life forms arrive from a distant star system after receiving our first radio transmissions. life that eats radio and electricity, starting with the frequencies of our first transmissions, but then mutating(?) to all radio, then electricity even in wires, and wiping out all communications, vehicles, etc. There is a desperate project to resurrect steam engines (to build other steam engines) and breed horses. All those steam train museums turn out to be what saves humanity. just now I realized..shouldn't they also consume all the light too? But I guess they can't go beyond microwaves. <pre>--Carey</pre> > On 05/07/2024 11:14 PM CDT ED SHARPE via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > > > SMECC had similar but never got much microfilm so were sent to historical > society to use on Reels of news paper microfilm.
