I was going through a box of stuff last night that I got several months
ago from the same guy I got my first IMSAI from. He was around back in
the day and used to attend all the Homebrew Computer Club meetings.
Anyway, included in the box of magazines and brochures and such that he
gave me was a folder with the Homebew Computer Club Newsletter from Vol.2
#1 (Jan. 1976) through Vol.2 #15 (Mar. 1977). This is sweet! I never
knew that the HCC had a newsletter. Anyway, I haven't had a chance to go
through them but there is some pretty wild stuff in them. The first issue
I have has an "Open Letter to Hobbyists" from Bill Gates decrying the
pirating of the Altair BASIC. The next issue has a response to Bill's
letter chiding him for giving the software away in the first place and
then complaining about piracy after the fact. Wild!
I also found out I have Dr. Dobbs Journal of Computer Calisthenics and
Orthodontia from Issue 1 on up through 1982. Sweet.
I'll be reading through the Newsletters and will report any amazing
revelations.
