Yokosuka Computer Club (Yokosuka Naval Base, Yokosuka, Japan) needed a newsletter, so I created one, the
Yokosuka Computer Rag
It was originally typed on a TRS-80 Model III and printed on a daisy-wheel printer. After getting a Macintosh and an ImageWriter dot-matrix printer, the newsletter moved to bit-mapped graphics. While the text wasn’t as crisp as a daisy-wheel, the change allowed the introduction of graphics.
Thirty-odd issues of the Yokosuka Computer Club Rag were scanned and are available as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files. The newsletters have been converted to readable text via OCR (Optical Character Recognition), but I decided not to convert the newsletters to HTML as 1) it would have been a lot of work and 2) I wanted to show the evolution from essentially typewriter-based publishing to more modern bit-mapped graphical publishing.
