@amoroso That looks like an essay prompt! I don't disagree with you that the period you have in mind saw a "Cambrian explosion" of computing devices and peripherals, but there wasn't a matching set of socially empowering politics along with that. The politics were libertarian and individualist.
On a social level, the ads in BYTE perpetuate the sexism and classism of the day. Computers were a revolution only for the privileged and those who hold power. The ads were aimed at that demographic. The purposes to which computers should be put were intended to entrench power in the hands of the privileged.

@fluidlogic Absolutely, many such ads were cringey seen with today's eyes.

@evan No, not really. I've spent too many years listening to #GlennLoury to do so.
But I think there's a stronger case for #AffirmativeAction in university admissions for Black Americans than for Mr. Mamdani.

@mpjgregoire also, if he was trying to cheat, shouldn't he have left "Asian" unchecked?

IBM 5155 – Il primo portatile IBM (1984)
Questo “trasportabile” derivato dal PC IBM pesava 13 kg e offriva un monitor da 9", due floppy e fino a 640 KB di RAM.Oggi, nella sede di Apulia Retrocomputing, è stato aggiornato con una compact flash che funge da hard disk e contiene software e giochi originali, tra cui Pac-Man (che gira nella foto).
Una macchina storica che unisce lavoro e divertimento degli anni ’80.

Tensioni. «Abbatteremo i vostri aerei»: il discreto ultimatum della NATO alla Russia
Sulla scia di Donald Trump, giovedì 25 settembre il segretario generale dell'Alleanza Atlantica, Mark Rutte, non ha escluso di abbattere i caccia russi che dovessero violare lo spazio aereo di uno dei paesi membri. Secondo l'agenzia Bloomberg, gli ambasciatori europei hanno discretamente trasmesso questo avvertimento alle alte sfere del Cremlino. #noriarmo
