2600 | Oak Lawn

The 2600 magazine traces its origins to early Bulletin Board Systems as a place for tech enthusiast to share information and stories with each other. It was launched in January 1984, coinciding with the book of the same name and the break-up of AT&T. It is published and edited by its co-founder Emmanuel Goldstein (a pen name of Corley which is an allusion to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four) and his company 2600 Enterprises, Inc. 2600 is released on the first Friday of the month following a season change, usually January, April, July, and October.

The Oak Lawn 2600 meeting is a monthly gathering of local tech enthusiast, nerds, geeks as well as anyone who find themselves curious about the ever changing technological landscape and what’s going on in those crowds.
