    • Archive for "The COMPUTER JOURNAL"

      • A Bi-Monthly magazine that supported classic computer systems. Over 14 years of articles on hardware and software. Articles detailed actual projects and information to assist in the generation of home grown hands on projects to control and increase ones knowledge of computer systems. Bill Kibler started writing for TCJ with issue #5 and acquired ownership of the magazine in June 1992, transferred ownership to Dave Baldwin, Dec. 31, 1995. Currently TCJ operations are suspended.

    Problem with adobe reader

    I was informed that issues 50 to 64 are unreadable by some viewers, and thus discovered that those pdfs had the page size at 200in. If you encountered this problem, a quick solution is not downloading again, but doing this using vi:
    :1,$s/183672/621/g
    :1,$s/238104/848/g
     that will globally replace the incorrect values with the smaller correct values. All pdf's are now fixed using the above step!

    The Computer Journal

    In 1985 I was also the editor/publisher of "Push and Pop" the newsletter for our local computer group - Sacramento Microcomputer Users Group - SMUG. In May 1985 we celebrated our Tenth Year as a User Group. I published a "10th Anniversary Issue" to comment on the anniversary and a special event celebrating our Tenth. We invited some big names in computing at the time for an all day event. For the special issue I copied some of the pivotal pages from other magazines that started it all in 1975. There is also a time line feature of what happened during the past ten years. All in all it was a fun issue and I have provided it here for your enjoyment.
