[HECnet] Younger generations

Indeed. While a lot of us are old timers, there definitely are younger generation members involved. To pick one example: the PLATO system (described at cyber1.org) has a non-trivial percentage of users on it that never experienced the original system. Some are just using it, some are actually creating new software. A group from Switzerland is using it as the platform to teach a course about computer gaming design, including some newly created PLATO games! And I think the current expert in PLATO terminal restauration isn't old enough to have seen the original, yet he has restored a number of original units to full operating condition.
