considered significant or important, even compared to American
machines that were on sale in East Futtbuck Idaho for 6 weeks in
Spring 1973 and have never been mentioned since.
I wish that I were in a position to visit that VCF and see those machines.
I as well. I do hope you will record it and make it available online somewhere.
I have found that computers are much like motorcycles: many of the most interesting were
never available in the US.
Thanks,
