GTCS.com

Gateways to CyberSpace was originated in the mid–1990’s, as a dot–com.  The original purpose was to organize and provide adaptive educational content on the internet, while providing a housing and support for teachers and student-teachers, to create much of that content.  Funding turned out to be in short supply at the time, and that start barely got running.  We learn, also, from varied mistakes.

But, with significant talent gathered, a subsidiary was formed AI ( Advanced Integrators, LC ) to put the talent to commercial use.  Over the intervening years, the personnel of Advanced Integrators were put to good use in support of a variety of successful companies, and one of the founders decided to himself become a (now quite proficient) high-school teacher, and loves it.  Others have gone on to other businesses, some technical, some with other focus, generally with less (although usually some) educational orientation.

• Rick, as mentioned above, is now a full time high-school teacher.
• Jim is involved in the Claus of Burzee series, as well as his real estate brokerages in California,
  in Montana (and general services), and elsewhere.
• Bruce remains postmaster of gtcs.com, took the lead with the AI consulting business, focused (as always) upon security and FLOSS.  He is a co-founder of the international Consult IT Group helping organizations of all kinds, government, educational, social, and other businesses with compliance issues.
• Don continues to support satisfied customers with up to date technology.

At the same time, the base domain (gtcs.com) was, and still is, used for e-Mail for quite a few individuals, and varied technical support for related organizations, as well as give back to the internet at large.

A variety of resources provided via gtcs.com are still current in their content, and will be added back, as they are updated in form, in content, or decided to be good enough just carried forward.

• Postmaster.GTCS.com provides information about spam blocking, policies, settings, and tools.
• TclTk.GTCS.com is a popular discussion of the history of user-controlled computing, and how it has exploded, rather than going away.  It compares BASIC on early PCs, to Tcl/Tk and Python languages still popular today, while mentioning Java and others.
