Internetistä muodostui käte- vä julkaisupaikka harrastajille ja itsenäisille sarjakuvantekijöille. Internetin kau- pallistuessa nettisarjakuvilla saattoi tienata rahaakin. Tekniikan ja palveluiden kehityksen myötä nettisarjakuvia on tullut jatkuvasti lisää, mutta vain muutama tusina on menestynyt kaupallisesti niin hyvin, että sarjakuva elättää tekijänsä. Opinnäytetyöni tavoitteena on kartoittaa eri keinoja, joilla nettisarjakuvilla voi ansaita rahaa. Tarkastelen keinojen hyviä ja huonoja puolia sekä niiden sovel- tuvuutta nettisarjakuvan käyttöön. Alustuksena on lyhyesti nettisarjakuvien his- toriaa sekä muutama esimerkkitapaus hyvin menestyneistä nettisarjakuvista. Nettisarjakuvien yleisin ansaintakeino on mainonta, jonka avulla sarjakuvanteki- jä saa rahaa sivuillaan näkyvien mainosten näyttökerroista tai klikkauksista.

  • The Apple Lisa Handbook
    THE APPLE LISA HANDBOOK compiled by Michael J Posner copyright 1991, 2005 © all rights reserved .reprinted materials copyrighted by the original owner INTRODUCTION In the beginning there was this: “c:\”, and it was hard. But there was an answer, and it came from.....Xerox, yes Xerox. And one day Steve Jobs came to Xerox and said, “This is great”. So Steve went back to Apple and said, let there be Lisa (allegedly his young daughter out of wedlock). And Apple labored for three years and then (without Steve, who was now raising a pirate flag over at the Macintosh Group) there was Lisa. And Lisa was cool, like no other computer ever made, before or since. But Apple lost heart and Lisa was discontinued. This hurt many people (especially those with vision and a wallet $10,000 lighter). But Lisa lives for those dedicated users. This book is dedicated to them. My wife asked me why I wrote this book. She also asked me why I bought a Lisa. Afterall, it was nine years old, weighed over 50 pounds and besides, what was wrong with my 386 PC clone. I told her how I fell in love with the first Lisa I saw 8 years ago, and how I always wanted. After successions of Macs (512, 512Ke, Plus, 2 SEs, a II, and an SI) and then a variety of IBM clones (in addition to my profession as an attorney, I administer an eighteen node pc network so I needed a pc at home to stay up on the latest pc software as well as to master the intricacies of DOS), I had all but given up on my dream of a Lisa when one day on America Online I had the opportunity to acquire a Lisa 2/10.
