Computer newspapers, 1981

I enjoyed seeing the old Radio Shack PC, and the telephone-receiver modems of the day. But the day being in 1981 (still a few years before the GUI), I’m wondering how they got those front page photos to show up, even if they are only in black-n-white. Much more fun to read now. Still hard to make anywhere near the print version’s profit, tho. Which is why, as the print paper craters in 2009, and more papers move to the Web, the staff is being radically reduced.
