[ih] Internet nostalgia

[Frantisek Borsik]

It really is a great idea! There is only one I have visited so far - it was
in Szeged, a city in Hungary: https://it-muzeum.njszt.hu/en/home-en/

It's called a computer museum, but you know, it has a lot of artefacts
connected to the early Internet in the Central and Eastern Europe.

Been there while attending https://freesoftwareconference.eu in 2022.

All the best,

Frank
