The Daydreamer - Lee Felsenstein
Ah yes, good old Herb has photos... Yup, that must be my IMSAI he was cracking on! - William Sudbrink
Thank you. I don't show photos of the IMSAI. That was end-of-June 2012 so I can't immediately check that photo archive. Felsenstein should be regarded as first among equals in early 70's personal computing. Many people contributed to the works of those times, first-to's are not simple to assign. Beyond engineering and programming, some of these pioneers were social activists. They saw personal technology as media, the means to equalize information-power among ordinary people. Do we have it now? We (the persons at the 2012 event) were doing significant restorative work at the time. Twelve years later, it's commonplace on the Web. I'm surprised how often people find my Web pages anyway. Content is still king, but endurance matters too. - regards Herb -- Herbert R.

Here are some photos I took at the 07/01/2012 workshop: http://q7.neurotica.com/Felsenstein/IMG_20120701_101910.jpg http://q7.neurotica.com/Felsenstein/IMG_20120701_102006.jpg http://q7.neurotica.com/Felsenstein/IMG_20120701_102232.jpg http://q7.neurotica.com/Felsenstein/IMG_20120701_102408.jpg http://q7.neurotica.com/Felsenstein/IMG_20120709_220654.jpg Mike Loewen mloewen@cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
