It certainly was, I have several copies for the Apple II. The funny thing is
that I believe that the MS version still had the same packaging.

dont forget about zenix, and msk............
for the people who dont know msk was MicroSofts attempt at setting computer
standards in countries
like Japan back in the early 1980's, they also reached Australia but I dont
know about the States..

Yep. That'd be Microsoft NetMeeting. Pretty cool product. Supports video,
audio, message boards. They've also got an Internet Explorer port to Sun
Solaris and HP-UX.

Didn't MS repackage that as something else, like a kids program rather
recently?

What about Windows 2.11? I LOVE Windows 2.11. Now... if it'd only caught

Well, um, no. If you made me guess which HP system, I'd say HP125,
which was a CP/M machine built into a 262X terminal body.
But I'd be a little bit surprised that it's not dressed up as an HP
product. HP was doing that with Microsoft products in the mid-1980s,
e.g. the Microsoft Pascal compiler for the HP150.

I used to work for a small publisher (long enough ago so as to be way on
topic, and we'll leave it at that) where one of my jobs was to make
multiple photocopies of a master copy, collate, assemble, and clib them
together. They were review copies, and they were done on a small office
copier.
So, if you come across an older computer book like that, it's not
necessarily a pirated copy.

Methinks they also did a port of MS-Word for the AT&T Unix-PC 7300 (A
fine 68010 box, BTW).

Oh yea Ward,
One other thing.
I just re-read your message and remember the comment
about Laconia.
If you're coming to NH you can pick these up.
That's where we're located, in Manchester.
