Dave, I don't know if I told you the story about my return trip across the border back
to Canada, but the border guard didn't believe me that I made a 10+ hour return trip
the same day to pick up 'a piece of junk' and thought that it must be worth more
than I was claiming because no one in their right mind would make a car trip like that
unless there was value. I had to explain that nostalgia has a value that isn't the
same as monetary value :)

Hello All,
I've mentioned before that I'm bringing a NorthStar Horizon back to life.
I've managed to get quite far, with a fully functional 32K machine running (the second
32k board has an unknown problem at the moment).
I'm very glad to see one of Don Maslin's machines given new life and its new
owner showing up here.
