From Dial-Up to AI: 25+ Years of Building Victoria Tech

Worth the evening if you want the version of Victoria tech that predates the word ecosystem. Victoria Free-Net came up in November 1992, and two years later it was running twenty-one dial-in modems for more than nine thousand registered members. Its sponsor list included the Vancouver Island Advanced Technology Centre, which is VIATEC under its old name. I have never found a decent written account of any of it, which is the real argument for hearing it said out loud.
