[Dixonary] Early tales of CIS

[Toni Savage]

Well, I was especially thinking of things that are
either funny in themselves (I think I have a copy of
"M" from the AVISG boys around someplace) or that
users today can relate to (my nephew keeps talking
about how many idiot flamers there are around now...)

I have a binder labelled "Vidtex" that i just noticed,
but yeah, an early text editor book would be great!

I remember that "M" thread and how funny it was, but of course if you
weren't around in the early days, you would not understand it.

I think I heartlessly threw out all my old manuals and notes when we
moved, but if any turn up, I'll let you know. I hope I have that "M"
thread around someplace still!

I still have a copy of that whole series of exchanges that led up to you playing the role of Kate McClure at that dinner in Newark...

[Toni Savage]

Ooh!! Could I have a copy??

Don't suppose anyone has any fragments of "Snow Tires:
2 or 4?"

And a copy is attached. It's a text file - SCAM.TXT, put together by Perry Norton after the scam ran...

Possible. It's getting to anything that's the problem, since I just finished a major renovation project. Lemme see what I can find.

Judy, et al,

I think I have a copy of the Now Voyager thread somewhere, if
anyone's interested. I don't think I have Snow Tires, but I could be
wrong. Should I try and dig it out???

You don't need four snow tires unless you have two motorcycles.
