What are you refering to when you say Non-Linear systems, are you talking
about Non-Linear Video systems?

Subject: My return to Classic Cmp - San Diego, software archive, etc.
Over the past four years I've been taking the
digests, pulling down the
archives and saving them, in the hope that I'd find
time to read and perhaps
participate. Never found time.
Gotta get this out of the way first: some of you may recall that I was Don
Maslin's friend, that I promised to rescue the software archive, and that
his widow made that impossible. A mutual friend queried me about this
recently, and I have to say that so far as I know, Don's archive rests in
his garage, untouched. SAD!!!
This year I lost another computer addict friend who participated in the
early days
of the Z80 (and before that as one of the Non-Linear Systems
bright lights) - Bill Bailey. Our Old Farts group is getting smaller.
I wonder - are there any warm bodies here in San Diego still interested in
the old
computers we created over 30 years ago? If so, I'd sure like to talk
with them. Perhaps reconstitute the Dina-SIG I founded some 20+ years ago as
a local activity for celebration of the early personal computer, idea and
information exchange, and good fellowship over good beer!
Anyway, I intend to try to drop in here daily and join in the daily
conversations.
