John Draper at the first Hackers Conference

The video tutorial discusses the setup of a programmer's network aimed at interconnecting with CompuServe and enabling picture transmission through bulletin boards. It introduces a simple algorithm for this purpose and emphasizes the importance of having icons for users. The tutorial also features Mr. Alan Mundell, who talks about ChrisNet, which will be integrated with the network. The video highlights the significance of interconnecting various networks, including local bulletin board systems, and proposes an electronic mail system using Macintoshes and MacPaint to send pictures across the country.
