Jim; did you get my previous message about how we should settle up on the
shipping on the 2nd platter? I think there was also another question in that
particular email to you, but I don't recall at the moment. Just to want you
to think I'm a deadbeat!

The notebook is about 3 inches thick. It is a training manual along with
hundreds of pages of handwritten notes on the Internals of HP Timeshare
BASIC....
...With this information, one could very easily write
TSB from scratch. I'll have to scan all this and put it online for
interested parties!
That's massively cool! Far too much information like this has been
lost to obscurity. Looking forward to seeing it!
