    📌 Summary:
    這篇文章介紹了南斯拉夫工程師Vojislav “Voja” Antonić在1980年代如何突破重重限制,自行設計並建造出Galaksija電腦的故事。在社會主義的南斯拉夫,居民無法合法進口昂貴的家用電腦,Antonić為了應對這一困境,自行設計了一款簡單且便宜的電腦,並在一本科學雜誌上發佈建造指南,引發了極大關注。最終,Galaksija不僅改變了許多人的電腦使用方式,還促使政府改善進口限制,雖然因強烈的市場需求而迅速被更先進的電腦取代。該電腦的熱潮在隨後的戰爭時期漸漸消失,但近年來又復興,成為許多人的懷舊象徵,深刻影響了計算機歷史的傳承。

    🎯 Key Points:
    - 在1980年代,南斯拉夫的大多數人無法合法擁有電腦,因為進口法律限制。
    - Voja Antonić憑藉創新思維設計了一款沒有獨立圖像處理器的電腦,名為Galaksija。
    - 他與記者合作,將建造指南發佈在雜誌上,導致許多人參與製作自己的Galaksija。
    - 該計畫引起了廣泛的注意並促使政府放寬進口限制,但隨後Galaksija很快被更強大的電腦取代。
    - 隨著時間的推移,Galaksija漸漸被人們遺忘,近年來卻重新受到重視,激發了人們對計算機歷史的興趣。
