minus-square@sudsmcduff@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish6•10 months agoXennial here! Had friends with Atari 2600s, first childhood console was an NES, and first home computer was a used Atari 800XL. Oh, and my first school computers in small-town Ontario were Commodore PETs and ICONs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICON_(microcomputer)).
minus-square@duncesplayed@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglish4•10 months agoRIP Bette Stephenson. In the same way that Al Gore invented the Internet, Bette Stephenson invented the ICON. She was a very stubborn politician who would not tolerate anything other than complete success from the project. Passed away 3 years ago.
