Amazing Score

Here's my 'amazing coincidnece' story. As you probably know, I have a Philips P850 minicomputer. Shortly after getting it, some engineers from Philps gvve a lecture at the university I was at. I met them after the talk and mentioned I had this old machine. THey said they would see fi they could find any manuals, etc. A couple of days letter I received a parcel of manuals for later machinesi n the fmaily, alas the P850 itsl;ef was too old for them to have anything. Of course I thanked them for said manuals nad read them all. Some of the information was certainly applicable. Now jump forwards about 20 years. I heard of a couple of Philips P800 machines needling homes. Of ocurse I respndend, and got a P851 and P850 wil many manuals, spare boards, etc. The donor hyard worekd at Philips and had rescued the machines when he retuired. He said that he couldn't find the user manual for the P851, though. My reply :'That's beacuase I have it'. I then pulled out of my bag said manual with the donor's name written on the cover. It was one of the manuals sent ot me in that parcel. It is now reuntied with the machine. -tony
