Sad samo da dovedemo Draška na topic :))

 

"In 1983, hardly anyone knew what computers were for or how they looked," says Antonić. At the time, the only computer that most people in Yugoslavia would ever come across would be a programmable calculator, but things were changing fast. Antonić had already been messing around with microprocessors for several years, but the huge expense of ready-built machines drove him to make his own: "I liked to play around with Z80 microprocessor projects, mostly for controllers and computer animation. But computers were too expensive for me, so I had to make my own. One of those computers was so simple and easy to make that I thought that maybe someone else would wish to make it themselves."

 

"It would be pretty immodest to say that the 100-page publication 'Računari u vašoj kući' set off the computer revolution in Yugoslavia," states Dejan Ristanović, author of the magazine. "So I won't say it; the fact is, however, that the computer revolution began just after the appearance of the first issue of the 'Računari' magazine. Clearly, the time and the circumstances were favourable, and the well advertised publication only gave things a push in the right direction..."

 

 

Voja Antonić recalls the heady days that led up to December 1983 and the release of the first issue of Računari, which contained detailed plans on how to build your own Galaksija computer. "My friend Dejan Ristanović and I spent a lot of days and nights brainstorming while I was writing Galaksija's operating system." says Antonić. "I had to walk outside sometimes just to dissolve the adrenaline rush."

 

The Galaksija continued its run of success for many years, and eventually it became commercially available. Many educational institutions received one, and it was even used to teach computer science in elementary schools. Eventually though, it fell into obscurity, and even its inventor discarded his creation. "I had five functional Galaksija prototypes, but at some time in 1995 I threw them all on the dump," recalls Antonić in a statement that would shock today's collectors. "Simply, nobody was interested in such old things any more, including me."

bili su kod hrama definitivno, očigledno su se više puta selili

 

Da, bili su kod hrama jako dugo, onda prešli dole u Dositejevu a ja sam video isto tu tablu prekoputa nekog pranja automobila blizu 29. novembra.

 

koliko ja znam i dalje drže PC press ta stara ekipa, plus ovaj connect i valjda još nešto treće, nisam siguran šta.

u pravu je Laki, sad su na početku Osmana Đikića, iznad 29. novembra

[Trooper]

yup, pc press i dalje sljaka, sad su skoro izdali 200-ti broj valjda, kacili su nesto po FB o tomej. A Dejan Ristanovic mi je uvek bio presmesan u nekom pozitivnom smislu, i dan danas ima true geek izjave sa svojih 50 ili koliko vec godina

[Guest]

osmana đikića je u profesorskoj koloniji, dositejeva je kod prve, niko nije retard, idemo dalje!
