Using computers used to be a calm solitary experience which led directly to mastery on a deep level. Normies were nowhere to be found. The fact is, if you weren't smart or at least patient, early computers were not for you.
This meant that computer culture was, by default, filled with smart or at least interesting people.
So, yes, you do have to go back that far, because after 1995 all of that began dying. The culture held on until 2007, when centralized social media and the smartphone took over and obliterated everything.
Now we live in Retard World.
