Silicon Gulch Gazette, Feb. 10, 1978
YEAR: 1978
ITEM: Periodical
COMPANY: Computer Faire
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
IN OUR COLLECTION: Yes
The February 10, 1978 issue of Silicon Gulch Gazette was focused on the upcoming West Coast Computer Faire (the second one) which was going to be held on March 3-4-5.
The entire front page was dedicated to the faire. Multiple stories on the first page included one entitled "Robot chases Robot at 2nd Faire". The story discussed how visitors would be able to see how a microcomputer could operate a robot.
Another story entitled "Entrants in the First Microcomputer Chess Tournament" listed a total of 9 entrants...3 were companies (Cromemco, Processor Tech., Apple) and the other six were chess programs.
Sorry, no images have yet been entered. As we get more volunteers/interns we will be adding these images.
