Broadcasting Computer Software
The show went as far as broadcasting software for computers of the day, such as Galaksija, ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. The host would announce the details of the software about to be broadcast (title, type of computer, etc.). Ready listeners would then engage their tape recorders and record the characteristic noise that would have turned unsuspecting listeners away.
This initiative became so popular that special software was made specifically for the show, such as the flight simulator and "Velika Akcija" (Great Action) games and an early electronic journal. The journal was broadcast as the entire program used to view it.
Ventilator 202 also featured computer professionals and publicists talking about various interesting subjects. Frequent speakers were Vladimir Ajdačić, Miša Milosavljević, Gavrilo Vučković, Jovan Regasek, Tansije Gavranović, Zoran Živković, Aca Milinković and Dejan Ristanović.

Famous quotes containing the words broadcasting and/or computer:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
