1981 Personal Computer Catalog

May 1, 2004

An interesting article appeard on Slashdot the other day. A user grabbed some of his own vintage goodness and placed it online for all to enjoy....

    "I just fired up my scanner and uploaded the 35-page 1981 (+/- 1 year) personal computer catalog from American Small Business Computers. 16K RAM for $22; 10 megabyte hard drive, 5 meg fixed and 5 removeable, with 14-inch platters; 25-character per second printer. Things have changed a bit since then!"
An interesting piece of computing history. I have many old computer magazines and some fairly rare product brochures from the early 80's (my Fall/Winter 1980 Apple In Depth catalog, full of Apple II, II+, and III goodness, being the gemstone of the lot). Perhaps I will get around to dusting off my scanner and throwing up similar pieces of yesteryear.

By compelling people to vote you force the expression of views that otherwise wouldn't find much traction.

I think you need a bit more of a story with this as this isn't really a news story in its current form. Perhaps you could write about why you like Michael so much?
