The newsletter deals with computer issues and labor issues. The Amateur Computerist is dedicated to support for grassroots efforts and movements like the "computers for the people movement" that gave birth to the personal computer in the 1970s and 1980s and articles about these developments have appeared in past issues of the newsletter. Most recently the newsletter is documenting the history of the development of the Global Computer Communications Network, of Usenet, and of Unix and the progressive impact of these important breakthroughs."
