David,
My impressions/insights are not all that strong. (I only went to one
other Hacker's conf, so I guess it did not seem so important to me).
I recall that Lee Flesenstein moderated a "random access" session, a
la the Homebrew Computer Club. I recall that several Apple folks with
low serial numbers were there -- including Steve Wosniak. I think Dan
Bricklin from Visicalc was also. Stewart Brand of Whole Earth Catalog
was the organizer. It was held at a sort of summer camp, and we slept
in bunk beds. My roomie was Bob Albrecht of People's Computer
Company. Lots of M&Ms and soft drinks, and little sleep. It says
something that I recall more the form than the substance. Was anyone
else from the list there?
The T-shirt was designed by Scott Kim, and I will take a snapshot of
it. (should we wear the t-shirts in the photos)? I also came across
a t-shirt from the Southern California Computer Society, which predated
Homebrew (by a little), and had a short, stormy history. I also had
one from the first INET conference, but cannot seem to find it. (I
assume that only "first" t-shirts are worthy of submission).
