On the face of things, we seem to be merely talking about text-based
files, containing only the letters of the English Alphabet (and the
occasional punctuation mark).

On deeper inspection, of course, this isn't quite the case. What this
site offers is a glimpse into the history of writers and artists
bound by the 128 characters that the American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII) allowed them. The focus is on
mid-1980's textfiles and the world as it was then, but even these
files are sometime retooled 1960s and 1970s works, and offshoots of
this culture exist to this day.

      Where are the Files?             Who are You?            Why does this Matter?  
        What was it Like?                                         How can I Help?
