Well, it's about computer history. Identify the corners and shortcuts that took us into current mess. I know, "from history we learn that we do not learn from history". But seome are interested and worried. What was it like in 1997? What went wrong? Do you remember the time when computers were a tool to help you, not to spy on you?

KDE 1.0 was formally released in 1998.
As for 1997...well, that's when I bought my first real PC. Six years later, I began to use Linux and never looked back :)
