I ran two of the earliest #fidonet sites, one at #ByteMagazine and another personal one in my basement. #johnmarkoff and I discovered #tomjennings as he was first hatching the idea of #fido in the early 80s. I was West Coast Bureau Chief for Byte, and John (who had just migrated over from InfoWorld) theoretically worked for me.

Steve Abbott wrote this piece "Dig Our Heroes Out of the Trash for Homocore zine issue 7 (published by #TomJennings). It's a call to remember bohemian forebears and their creative output.
