Today we give you some scans from the private collection of Dr. Science<\/strong>\/Atlantis, a Swiss coder and cracker<\/abbr> who was a member of the legendary Computer Freaks Association<\/em> in the late 1980s and is still active in the C64<\/abbr> scene<\/abbr>. Apart from some neat disk covers and CFA’s official greeting list, the probably most exciting part of this installment are the letters Dr. Science received from fellow sceners<\/abbr> in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The letters are exemplary for the global networks built by the scene already back then – even this small sample includes correspondents from countries such as Australia, Finland, and Norway. Furthermore, the letter from Snap demonstrates how group members conducted collaborative work on demo<\/abbr> productions before email and IRC. Expect more scans from Dr. Science’s collection in the near future!<\/p>\n
