"This column is dedicated to the proposition that Canada (and indeed the world) is in a crisis situation and that fundamental social change is required to remedy this situation." - The First Column, Lambda November 2, 1971 This blog is inspired by my column of the same name in the Laurentian University Newspaper, Lambda, from 1971-1973. The title refers to the concept of subverting the system from within. To read key excerpts from those columns read the first few posts in this blog.
I was working away at my slide scanning project when I came across this photo of my wife at our desk working on our first computer, an Osborne 1 in June 1983.(click on images to enlarge)

Heh. I have an Olivetti "portable" that looks similar to that pic, found at the dump.It boots! (Just need to find a keyboard cable.)
And we have a DX486 that runs perfectly on windows 3.1, along with a few other museum peices in my basement.
