- smellf 8y agoThe date is repeated below, so that's not a typo. He then talks about how Compuserve has been using PDP-10s for the previous 17 years. Compuserve was around in 1971?? Edit: Holy shit, Compuserve was founded in 1969(!) as a subsidiary of an insurance company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompuServe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompuServe
