Yokosuka Computer Rag

Yokosuka Computer Club was founded possibly around 1979 by military personnel stationed at Yokosuka Naval Base or ships home-ported there. The Computer Rag was founded in 1984 and went through several stages as publication shifted from dot-matrix printers mimicking monospaced type to daisy-wheel printers with occasional variable-width type back to dot-matrix printers producing bit-mapped type and graphics.
