Well thats all well and great, but I still dont know what 2600 meetings are.
- Good thing you asked. A 2600 meeting is a meeting for people interested in hacking electronics and software, and since 2600 is a magazine for hacking its an appropriate title.
Hackers! Your the people who killed my puter!!!!
- No and Yes. A common misconception is all your PC problems are the fualt of someone else, and its easy to lay blame, but its usually user error, and cause by virus or computer bugs. The term hackers has been twisted and stretched by the media to make it something bad, all hackers are, are people who hack away at there keyboard or, device to make it do something different from its original purpose.
Okay, Well this sounds great, but I'm not some PC guru.
- Well thats okay, people of all computer literacy and age can attend. Its a place to learn something about the electronic devices around us.
