Happy Birthday Emplant!
« on: August 24, 2015, 07:59:44 PM »
I don't know what date Jim Drew recognizes for Emplant's b-day but I know that the Emplant board got FCC approval 08/24/1992 so I thought that was close enough.  :-)

I loved my Emplant board at the time so I thought I would make this humble post.


Cheers!

The Emplant board was just awesome.

Jim, I don't know if you'll remember this, but I called you from Purdue University and said that a bunch of broke college kids want to buy Emplants for their Amigas and you said if we got 10 orders (or something) you would give us a great deal.  I got the orders and you gave us a great deal.  Thank you so much for that!  That was just awesome!

Actually, when I called UU about our request a woman answered and just handed me over to you.  I never thought I would get to talk with you and got suddenly nervous at the time (I was 19 or 20) but you were incredibly gracious on the phone.

Great memories!  Great product!
