Computer People for Peace
I was reading through some People's Computer Company newspapers and came upon a reference to a group called the Computer People for Peace. I did some research and found that they were active from 1969-1973 and they put out their own newsletter, based out of Brooklyn, NY. So, for you who care about MidAtlantic history, here is a link to the archive and articles I compiled. http://www.vintagecomputer.net/browse_thread.cfm?id=761 Some of you may not know exactly how militant they were against IBM back then. Someone bombed one of their offices back during this time. I have a 1968 ComputerWorld article about it. The late 60's have a rich computer history if you care to explore beyond the 80's :-) I plan to make an exhibit of some of this at Kennett Classic some day, after the current exhibits are done. Bill
