Computer magazines of the 60s blow my mind. The computers were very, very different back then.
In contrast, computer magazines of the 70s feel very close in spirit to a cross of HAM radio magazines and computer magazines of the 80s and 90s, and feel "normal".
How about this note from Computerworld 1967-1-1? A computer printed 1000 personalised letters for merely $250 ($2.4 of modern dollars per letter), big commercial success.
