00:48:01	Jocelyn Doire:	https://opcug.ca/history/
00:48:06	Chris Taylor:	Denis - I don't think so.
00:50:04	Alan German:	OPCUG's first newsletters can be downloaded from https://opcug.ca/Articles/archives.htm

00:54:04	Alan German:	Elizabeth - A BBS was more like the members-only forum where people could leave and reply to messages.  There was also a software library where programs could be downloaded.
00:54:06	iPhonelouis mihaly:	Who here used to go on NCF?
00:54:43	Chris Taylor:	Elizabeth - no. A listserver is strictly a means of messaging to groups of people

01:37:47	Mark Cayer:	I seem to recall reading "The Cuchoos Egg" and wondering about that ...
01:38:43	Alan German:	Mark - How come with all this great technology we can't control spammers and hackers?!
01:39:53	Mark Cayer:	because spammers and hackers have great financial incentive and are often well financed by organized crime
01:40:33	Mark Cayer:	Why else would there be a "Dark Web" out there somewhere?
01:40:48	iPhonelouis mihaly:	We can! Just disconnect

01:41:44	Mark Cayer:	That is exactly what Clifford Stoll (author of The Cuckoos egg) did.  He became a luddite.
01:42:12	Alan German:	Mark - No, he set traps!
01:43:06	Tom Trottier:	Satellites spreading internet globally/ruraly
01:43:24	Mark Cayer:	In the end Stoll realized he was fighting a losing battle ... and went off line.
01:44:11	Alan German:	Mark - He should have built more traps.  We need them!
