Before there was Linux (I know, the dark ages), I remember consulting thick books, given away free, that were an alphabetical listing all of the people and businesses in a given area, along with their addresses and phone numbers. I probably used that technology to get to my first meeting of the Toronto PC User's Group, held at a school near Bayview and York Mills in the late 80's.

Good times!

When I were a lad, we didn't have Linux, but we started a Linux user group anyway as an aspirational cargo cult ...

(Back in GLUG [Glasgow Linux User Group, c.1995-6] days, we always held meetings in pubs. We found our way there no bother, but strangely, it was always far slower and longer to get home. I wonder why?)
