It may be useful to consider the general disparate categories of terminology we may need to get into in order to explain our weird past, present and future:

BBS / SysOp jargon (term programs, door games, echomail, etc.) early Internet (IRC, shell accounts, telnet, newsgroup, MUDs, webrings, etc.) terminology vintage computing (MS-DOS, C64, Amiga, Atari ST) subjects computer underground (hacker/warez) culture and slang phreaking terminology computer graphics/audio/programming topics (bitmaps, vectors, anti-aliasing) '90s popular culture phenomena (Image Comics, etc.) Vancouver things art history (Dada, pointillism, etc.)
