byteline

 

Deep in the archives of the ITC, Healey Lower Level, has been found a little piece of IT Department history. Then called Computing Services, several staff put out quarterly print newsletters with articles like:

  • How to adjust the clock for daylight savings time on Macintosh OS System 6 and System 7,
  • An announcement of the second edition of the Internet White Pages listing email address for users across the world – organized by name
  • And obituaries for retiring microcomputers like the Apple Iigs and IBM AT

The archives have been scanned and uploaded for you to peruse and be nostalgic. See articles from familiar names like Peter Tofuri, Peter C.S. Adams, Jamil Moosavifard, Linda Perrotto, Daniel Ortiz, and more!
