My old (1982) CIS number was on the mailing label
for my monthly
magazine (forget the title), but in 2001, when I worked there, there
was no trace of it. Go figure ;-)
It doesn't matter--the account has to be current. I just tried with
my CIS number and password (yes--I could remember both :)) and got
the following message:

Interesting... I'll have to dig up that old magazine and check my mailing lable.
One of the things I did long ago was to beta-test a slick C-64 VidTex
(text plus simple character-based color graphics) client. I still
have the xeroxed preliminary manual and a disk image with the client.
Turns out that 20 years later, I was working in the same group with
some of the guys who developed content that was designed for that
client. They were pretty pleased to see me bring it in and fire it up
under VICE. Nice little trip down memory lane for them.
