There's a lot more to running a newsletter in 2023 than meets the eye. Of course, it depends a little on your own requirements and objectives, but one thing is certain: at the end of the 70s of the last millennium, the word newsletter still had its very own - paper'ish - meaning. 📃

At that time, a typewriter, a few sheets of paper and a specialized analog-electronic device were enough to reproduce black letters on a white paper background.

One of the most beautiful, but not necessarily best known examples appeared last week thanks to the CNET team.

The Homebrew Computer Club is legendary and represents - probably rather unofficially - the cradle of many ideas in the area of hardware and software, which are still the basis of current computing technology. However, the club has become known in particular through the membership of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who - as active members in the club - have both contributed and collected a whole range of ideas over there.

If you feel like taking a look at a newsletter of a completely different (but quite original) kind, you can find some scans of issues from 1975 here.

Coffee stains included! ☕️
