Ohhh! It never occurred to me that that's where the "P" comes from! Very neat!

And that's a really interesting point you make, about the argument happening again and again. I imagine a lot of things in history are like that -- not as unique as we think they are. Just different versions of the same old stuff, over and over again.

MODERN digital

Oh boy, timesharing was the debate battle-lines back then! 

Whos owns the compiter? Back the “the man”. California Hippies say NO, and after a bunch of LSD and PARC we get the P in PC (…oh, and then the web and the pendulum swing again)

Carve the means of computation up - and then watch the sparks fly, and this argument echos again and again through history. Like harmonics on a guitar. 

Today: where is that LLM running mfrs?

Thanks so much Sgt! I truly appreciate you saying that. Some of it I’m finding on Tumblr, and then tracing it back to archive,org for the info. But then, once I get to the original on archive,org , there’s like tons and tons of more stuff. To the point that it’s overwhelming 😂

This cover is a good example of that. Because almost every single issue of this magazine has a banger cover, especially the ones from the 60s/70s
