At issue in this section of our chapter on the transmission of BASIC in print is what print vehicles users disseminated to communicate the BASIC language, its uses, and its programs. In looking at the specifics of how BASIC was disseminated and traveled between and among different user communities, we will uncover interesting signs about the practices BASIC users developed, the habits they fell into, the culture that developed among them, and finally the trends they set and that now inflect the history of computing in more and less significant ways. | At issue in this section of our chapter on the transmission of BASIC in print is what print vehicles users disseminated to communicate the BASIC language, its uses, and its programs.
