Junk computers? Cost lots to ship and what have you got? Junk. Reaching for a stack of literature, an old issue of "Dr. Dobb's" jumped out in near perfect condition. Volume 1, number 7, August 1976. As it was named then: dr. dobb's journal of COMPUTER Calisthenics & Orthodontia - Running Light Without Overbyte. It proved to be a time machine glimpse into the past. For example, an article entitled: The Time for Floppy's is Just About Now! by the editor. Details of a number of floppy disc subsystems, including one for $995 (in 10-quantity). -and- Floating point routines for the 6502 by R. Rankin & S. Wozniak Then in a letter to the editor, a complaint about bad service from THE DIGITAL GROUP, a small wanna-be microcomputer company in Denver. It mentions a Gus Calabrese who stated they were swamped with orders. Could this be same Gus as often writes to this list? What it was like working for one of the pioneer computer companies back in the day? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist Gus S Calabrese Denver, CO 720 222 1309 303 908 7716 cell Please include and do not limit yourself to "spam2006".
