µP<p>In Bonn there is a stall with vintage and used books. For 5 Euros I just bought a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> text book from 1968 that contains a chapter on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AnalogComputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AnalogComputer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mathematics</span></a> and programming:</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Paperware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Paperware</span></a></p>
µP<p>Today I had an all-day seminar about "Code Critic" at MeWi Uni Bonn. I organized the talks of the students as a symposium. The last talk was about the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GOTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GOTO</span></a> controversy that started in the end of the 1960s with a rant from Edsger W. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Dijkstra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dijkstra</span></a> and lasts until today. The student's talk ended with a self-made meme.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BASIC</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CCS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CriticalCodeStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalCodeStudies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Paperware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Paperware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ComputerArchaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerArchaeology</span></a></p>
µP<p>Some days ago a guy from Cologne visited me in my Bonn office to bring me a box full of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Floppy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Floppy</span></a> disks and a bunch of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PaperWare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PaperWare</span></a>: As a teenager he programmed a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BASIC</span></a> game ("Schanze") and saved most of tge versions on disk. He also saved all his scribbles with drawings, code snippets and ideas for the game project. </p><p>That ideally fits into my research project to reconstruct a critical <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/edition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>edition</span></a> of a BASIC program.</p>
µP<p>For digitizing print-out <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BASIC</span></a> listings I use a Fujitsu fi-8170 and a Canon DR-C240.

FRAK ("List Fakultetskog Racunardskog Kluba Fakulteta Graditeljskih Znanosti Sveucilista u Rijeci") was the first jugoslawian Computer Fanzine - made by students of engineering at the University in Rijeka in 1982 (until at leat 1985) for mostly HP and TI Calculators, #ZXSpectrum, #SharpMZ and other #HomeComputers with a built-in #BASIC. It is not digitazed and archived online yet ... 13 issues are stored in PEEK&POKE's magazine archive as #PaperWare.
