  • Chapter 18 Magazines and Newsletters
    Chapter 18 Magazines and Newsletters 18.1 ... The Beginning Publication of personal computing articles was initially in electronic magazines such as Popular Electronics, QST and Radio-Electronics. Then came the magazines and newsletters devoted to personal computing and microcomputers. Most of these initial publications were not specific to a particular microprocessor or type of microcomputer. The following are some of the more significant publications. The first publication devoted to personal computing was the Amateur Computer Society ACS Newsletter. The editor was Stephen B. Gray who was also the founder of ACS. The first issue was published in August 1966 and the last in December 1976. It was a bi- monthly directed at anyone interested in building and operating a personal computer. The newsletter was a significant source of information on the design and construction of a computer during the time period it was published. The PCC Newsletter was published by Robert L. Albrecht of the People's Computer Company in California. The first issue was published in October 1972. The first issue cover stated it “is a newspaper... about having fun with computers, learning how to use computers, how to buy a minicomputer for yourself your school and books films and tools of the future.” The newspaper name changed to the People’s Computers with a magazine type of format in May-June 1977. Hal Singer started the Micro-8 Newsletter in September 1974. This was a newsletter published by the Micro-8 Computer Users Group, originally the Mark-8 Group for Mark-8 computer users. Another publication started in 1974, was The Computer Hobbyist newsletter.

  • View Annual Report
    2014 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Stockholder: 2014 was a year of progress and transformation. We continued to grow and expand our leading student‐first connected learning platform, the Student Hub, while accelerating our business model from print to digital with an aim to unlock greater shareholder value. We believe that Chegg’s Student Hub is more important and needed than ever. The U.S. high school and college demographic is approximately 34 million strong and this group is digitally empowered and self‐directed. They believe deeply that technology is enriching their lives by helping them to more easily and efficiently connect with the people, places and things that matter to them. We’ve seen the impact of this in major industries such as media (Netflix), transportation (Uber), and commerce (eBay). Yet when it comes to higher education ‐ arguably the most critical stage in their lives ‐ each step of the way remains stubbornly tethered to dated and antiquated processes that are not only slow and indirect but built to serve multitudes of other constituents ahead of the student. Chegg is disrupting this dated and antiquated higher education system by putting students first and building an ecosystem of tools and services to empower students to improve their own outcomes. Through the Student Hub, students can research schools and get matched to scholarships and colleges online; attain required course materials more cheaply and efficiently; access learning tools that help them master complex content faster; and map their careers while connecting with employers in their field of interest. In essence, our Student Hub is the digital platform empowering today’s self‐directed student throughout the higher education process.
