Ah.... got the scans, eh? ;-) I think I need to look at the CD set - 20 disks- to make sure that i didn't forget to copy all of the directories over to the Terrabook like I did with this one.
I was online back in the 80s... on Compuserve. In the Atari forums we heard rumors about the Amiga and were always trying to worm details out of people.

I especially dig that giant L they used to start off that tiny blurb. "The Everything Machine? L". Genius.

:-P

Yeah.... I think I started out with a 300 baud modem. Talk about snail mail. ;-)

I started in 1986 with a 1200 baud modem, but that was in an Apple IIe. :-)

Only owned a Apple ][ for about 2 days. Bought it for 2 bucks at a school auction to get the monitor, then sold it a couple days later for 3 bucks to another nerd. It was long obsolete by that time.
