It's worth pointing out that, for a lot of places in the world, there weren't such things. There certainly weren't where I'm from in Australia
- smhenderson 9y agoYeah, I guess I should have stated that my experience was in the US. And I grew up in a large city as well so I can imagine the experience for someone living in a rural part of the US was more like yours than mine.
- rbg246 9y agoThere were a few regular computer fairs in Sydney in the mid 90s but anywhere outside of the main cities...
- jamesrcole 9y agoOr prior to then - or at least I'd imagine the further you go back from then the fewer of them there were. I'm from a bit north of Brisbane originally and if there were any in Brisbane around the 80s/early-90s I never knew of them (I guess that's the other thing about the pre-web world, that it was a lot harder to know of what was happening).
