UZH Magazin<\/em>, the research magazine of the University of Zurich, just published a detailed report<\/a> about the research project behind Got Papers?.<\/em> This is a good opportunity to end the hiatus and to bring you the third instalment of the New Balance Bochum \/ The Movers letter collection, supplied by Skylab & General Zoff<\/strong>. Once again, here are some intriguing scene<\/abbr> letters from a fascinating time, when sceners<\/abbr> began to move from C64<\/abbr> to Amiga<\/abbr>, struggling with the new machine’s specifications; when teenage crackers<\/abbr> doubled as game developers; when teenage magazine editors doubled as suppliers;<\/abbr> when not only disks, but all sorts of objects, including complete computers, were exchanged through the scene’s postal networks; when contacts and friendships were forged on a phone conference and immediately continued on paper; in short, when the social network known as “the scene” was new and messy, being held together by\u00a0 communication channels both “old” and “new”. Enjoy the letters, and expect more soon.<\/p>\n
