Summary[edit]
| Description |
The Northwest Computer News was published from 1976 to 1982 by the Northwest Computer Society of Seattle, Washington. The club initially met at the Pacific Science Center and moved to the Seattle University Library in January 1979. The early issues were 8.5 by 11 inch (215 by 280 mm) size and in April 1978 a larger format was adopted, 11.5 by 16.5 inch (290 by 420 mm). The newsletter was mailed to club members and sold at computer and electronics stores. Newsletter editor John Aurelius started a "My System" feature in May 1978 that featured a member's home computer system on the front page. The feature ran for 2 years. Gale Sherry took the photographs with a large format view camera that used 4 by 5 inch black and white film. Lighting checks were done with a Polaroid film back. The club members had access to a commercial timeshare service at night and on weekends for 50 cents per hour. The PDP 11/70 computer system supported dial-up modems at speeds up to 300 baud. In addition to ASCII Teletypes and video terminals, IBM 2741 type Selectric printing terminals could also be used. Many club members had Trendata 1000 Selectric terminals purchased from a local Computerland store. |
