Pacific Software, Berkeley, CA Pacific Software was the for-profit
marketing company created by the progressive computer collective
project called the Community Memory Project (CM). In the pre-net, post
'60s era, Community Memory's theoreticians designed a system of public
computer terminals in which anyone could put any message, comment,
news, poetry, etc. and anyone could answer it and so on, in public
places. CM anticipated the popularity of Internet participation by
nearly two decades. Their own system has been installed and maintained
in Santa Monica, California, Berkeley, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, to name
a few places.

I assume you've located this interview with Lee Felsenstein:

Interesting to see that LF was also a founder of Osborne Computers.  I
have a soft spot for Osborne.  At one time I had 8 working Osborne 1s,
supported two other O1 users, wrote BASIC, C, Z80 assembler and Lisp
on them and used one to log into Unix accounts over dialup or DataPac.
