Thank you Popsci for showing the world that people from Balkan don't have to be ashamed for where they come from (as many often, sadly, do feel).

.Poster: All the energy of the world

These are the translations of the letters on the posters, the thing i haven't translated means that it's a title. If some pic translate says "/", that means that it probably has only a title that is already translated, or no title at all.

In order to make the record straight:

This magazine was published by NIP Duga (Novinsko izdavacko preduzece "Duga"), from Belgrade, Serbia. The language used in the magazine was the Serbian, printed in Latin alphabet. Many magazines from Serbia, in the 70's and today, use both alphabets - Latin and Cyrillic.

The magazine itself was, at the time, great stimulator for the kids and young people to get into the science in general. This magazine was one of the first "window" for many of us into the computer science.

tnx for remove our negative comments on your insult and offensive text about best sf and science magazine in former yugoslavia. Viva USA democratia :) Shame on you all scientist from this magazine.

Galaksija was quite good, especially given its environment ant timeframe. In fact, I prefered it over many foreign magazines.

It had its special editions ( I remember one about Rubik's cube) and computers ( "Računari u vašoj kući"- Computers in Your House, it continued as a separate magazine with shortened name "Računari"-"Computers" ).

I think main quality of Galaksija and its children like "Računari" was, that they were magazines with big percentage of very good articles and above all, they had a soul.

They weren't a simple copies by clueless "authors" of garbage that was collected elsewhere and it was evident that many of them took considerable effort.

Special Edition of Računari ( "Computers" ) has started at the same time when CLive Sinclair started offering his ZX-80 computer ( with a kit option) and it featured first home computer, designed entirely by "our guys" - "Galaksija".

It was small marvel, very DIY friendly, especially in our conditions ( socialism, custom restrictions, very low wages etc), but it performed on par with any comparable foreign solution. Its firmware was children of love- small but packed with features.It was based on Z-80, I think mainly beause its DRAM refresh circuitry could be effectively used for SW-based ( and thus cheaper) picture generation.

It was followed with similar more-or less homegrown efforts, like TIM-011 ( computer inside monitor terminal, based on Hitachi's HD-64180) and year of first Macintosh has seen domestic DIY project with MC-68000 ( "Vuk"- Wolf) etc etc.

I have learned how to draw a decent line, circle and ellipse in asm in that magazine and even before that there were many articles, dealing with numerical correctness of popular calculus and trigonometric algorithms etc.

Main stars of epic first edition were Voja Antonić ( he designed majority of the hardware of "Galaksija"), IIRC Voja Gašić and Dejan Ristanović ( can't remember atm who did what wrt to firmware)...

IOW, don't spit on things, about which you don't have a clue...

Listen Dude, you googled for some make up story and I hope your boss fire you after he releases your arrogance and stupidity. Aren't you ashamed of yourself and that your ignorance and arrogance is your self defense to cover your internal emptiness. Are you capable to understand just that since you have no dignity?

Yeah, POP-SCI is doing a great disservice to its readers by completely misrepresenting the quality of Galaxia magazine. On the top of that translations are completely wrong. Translator definitely doesn't speak properly neither Serbo-Croat, nor English.

It was the magazine that made good mix of interesting stories targeting broadest possible audience. There was a lots of good science articles, with few silly ones just to broaden the audiences in a very small market. Late Yugo (pun intended) had only 10-15 million potential Serbo-Croat readers v 250 million for POP-SCI.

POP-SCI used to run some crazier than crazy stories, as it can be seen from the covers on the home page.

The Sixth Sense - New GROUNDBREAKING Book in 2012! The Sixth Sense leads to Enlightenment
DNA Healing Code - Hardwired in ALL Humans

As an example of what I mean by “Groundbreaking” info that can be found in the 2012 release of my new book on The Sixth Sense (not yet titled )…..
There is a sequence required to communicate with Infinite Intelligence – to gain insight and/or much more complicated yet achievable, HolisticDNA Energy Healing. The sequence required is on multiple simultaneous levels, not just “step by step” like an instruction manual for assembling a piece of furniture.
The “Key” sequence has to do with applying known facts, beliefs, emotions and faith (not religious) – if not applied exactly as detailed, the Sixth Sense will remain dormant, and not be “activated”. As an example:

fact --
fact --
fact --
belief --
fact --
in theory --
belief --
fact --
belief --
Faith --
fact --
fact --
fact --
Faith

you won’t find this in any existing text, which is why The Sixth Sense is so rarely utilized and hard to confirm. This will allow the Scientific Community to experiment and confirm my claims — remember, just a few decades ago, it was impossible to have a Man walk on the moon. Time for the next impossible to be challenged and confirmed — real

Life without coffee? Nah, impossible ;)
