[vcf-midatlantic] Computer People for Peace

[Bill Degnan]

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.

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.
