Dr. Brin,
I just wanted to write and say thank you for writing this article! I'm 30 years old and while I'm now a graduate student in medieval lit., I spent most of my 20's working in IT -- something I don't think would have come about without noodling around on a C-64 when I was a kid.
Something else that occurred to me while reading this is that there are emulators for a lot of the older hardware. I just downloaded one called CCS64 (it can be found at http://www.computerbrains.com/ccs64/). I haven't tried it yet so I cannot recommend it one way or the other, but I thought I should mention the option.
Lastly, if I can take a moment to be a gushing fanboy, I just read the entirety of the Uplift series and enjoyed it throughly. I'd like to see more stories set in that universe, perhaps in the vein of the first trilogy, if the mood ever strikes you.
Thanks,
--Matt
