酋長講古

愛報總共有四期 所以這係最後一期囉

這期偶只有複印版，基於上次滴經驗，複印版再作成電子版品質差粉多，所以一不作二不休，這次乾脆黑白二色150dpi掃描，作成勉強可以看但檔案體積超小滴網路閱讀版就好了。看倌們欣賞過後有蝦米感想，非常歡迎回報，宏揚同志書e版再生粉需要你們滴意見溜~~~

這書真是太神奇了，好想弄一本來收藏哦～～～

打從看到這個新聞報導起，偶都是一想到就笑、一想到就笑
下次再吵中正廟要改蝦米名字時，偶們來建議較常凱申紀念堂吧
基於歡樂的理由，也許比較容易達到共識說

結果e書不止沒有size變小，還越做越大
不過這次連封面封底一共有 40 頁，而且係從原版直接掃描下來滴清晰版
多佔點硬碟空間還係值得滴啦

ㄟ～這一期是從影印版製作出來的，失真程度比較嚴重
不過有得看總比沒有好吧

跟第三期的32頁(連封面)相比，第一期只有24頁，這款成長速度真係接下來幾年台灣同運發展滴好兆頭ㄚ

幾乎每鍋寫台灣同志運動史的地方都會提到1993 年底出版《愛福好自在報》係台灣第一個同志刊物，不過咧，除非係生的時辰地方恰巧或者像偶等收集東西勤快，真正有緣分看過《愛報》滴狼好像並不多咧。現在電子書製作傳播發達，這幾個月偶就給人家下載了幾百個GB的中文古書，所以囉，自己也來實驗一下，看能不能資源回收再利用

An Unfinished Revolution
The computer revolution happened in the mid-1970s, as proclaimed in the Homebrew Computer Club Newsletter, originated from “a hobby for fun.”⁷⁴ These computer hobbyists were certainly heroes. However, this study showed that computer hobbyists were different from hackers, who worried that personal computers had become a threat to their culture. While most historians would agree that the direction for developing computer technology had changed dramatically since the innovation of the Altair 8800 in 1975, it is still uncertain who should be credited for this change. This study suggests computer hobbyists as a more possible candidate than hackers.

From a Hobby to an Industry
Personal computer magazines soon flourished after the arrival of the Altair 8800 in January 1975. The old hobby electronics magazines, which occasionally offered special topics on computers, no longer could satisfy the fast growing population of personal computer hobbyists.⁷⁰ Byte, for example, published its first issue in September 1975. Together with Dr. Dobb’s Journal published by People’s Computer Company, Byte as well as some other earliest personal computer magazines remains popular to this day.

Besides advertisements that offered necessary materials to hobbyists, electronics magazines had another important characteristic—they were full of advertisements for education and career opportunities (Fig. 6). These advertisements often used descriptions such as “college level course quality” and “a career in engineering.” Apparently, the advertisers were assuming their readers were different from those of the engineering journals, who probably already had more than a college degree and held prominent academic or industrial jobs.

Electronics Hobbyists
While Nelson blamed the shortsighted industry giant IBM for never attempting to “develop personal luxury computer systems for the very rich,” some people took this matter into their own hands.⁵⁸ They were not rich families that pooled money together to buy computers for kids, as Nelson had expected, but a “peculiar breed” of engineers whose hobby was playing with any available and affordable electronic hardware.⁵⁹ Without doubt, many of these hobbyists must have read Nelson’s Computer Lib and would have been influenced by his vision. However, what connected the electronics hobbyist community was electronics magazines such as Popular Electronics, Radio Electronics, and Electronics World, which Nelson did not mention in his recommended resource list.

Nonetheless, one might defend Nelson as a visionary theorist in the same vein that theorists played important roles in the development of modern physics. Further examination, however, reveals that even Nelson’s visions were problematic. First of all, although Nelson criticized IBM’s basic business principle: “once an IBM customer, always an IBM customer,” which he interpreted as designed to control its customer, he did not seem to have escaped from such control. His list of information sources in Computer Lib did not include hobby electronics magazines. Instead, it mostly consisted of references to IBM systems or related technical and mathematical journals.⁵³
