Description

Pamela Hardt-English was the driving force behind Resource One — the first computerized bulletin board system that linked centers of counterculture across the Bay Area in the 1970s.

Pam’s work was part of the earliest vanguard of personal computing, which anticipated the rise of the Internet decades later.
